Noun clause???

Hi. In this sentence:

I'm happy that you are here.

Why "that you are here" is a noun clause?

In fact if it is a noun clause, what has been substitution of? For example I know his address. I know where he lives. Here "where he lives" is a noun clause because it's function is like a "noun". But what is the function of "that you are here"?
