How does the WRF BEP/BEM considers urban Anthropogenic heat?

Dear community,

To the best of my knowledge, I think the SLUCM considers anthropogenic heat by giving a heat source term to each urban category(e.g., 20W/m2 for subruban category). and the BEP/BEM calculate the heat emission from air conditioner (AC).

My questions are:
1. Does BEP/BEM considers other source of anthropogenic heat? like traffic and domestic heat other than AC.
2. if not. Can I add a spatial varying anthropogenic heat term into simulation or urban-category-dependent term like the ones in SLUCM?

Thanks for your attention and time.

Best,
Tony
