Load requirements for Hotel, Zoo and Residence
Load requirements for Hotel, Zoo and Residence
(OP)
Hello,
I would like to ask you please what would be a good value for Watts per square meter or square foot for the following types of structures:
1. Hotel
2. Zoo
3. Residence
After calculating the load, what should i take as a simultaneity factor for the hotels, if i have 10 hotels and for the houses, if i have 200 housing units?
I found some W/m2 values for Lighting NEC:
Table 220.12
Hotels: 22 W/m2
Dwelling Units: 33 W/m2
And using Table 220.42, the simultaneity factor for lighintg in the housing is 1 and for hotels = 0.5.
However, no values are given for general purpose socket outlets and heating and ventilation.
My go is, for total load before simultaneity factor across buildings:
Hotels: 80 W/m2
Houses: 170 W/m2
Zoo: 15 W/m2
Your help is appreciated, thank you.

RE: Load requirements for Hotel, Zoo and Residence
Hotel: 6VA/sf
Residence: 2.3W/sf
Zoo: No clue!
For residences, as I'm sure you are aware, lighting and gen. use compromise 3VA/sf. This also applies to hotels.
