Load Calculations
Once the criteria and multipliers are developed as described above,
the load calculations are simply a matter of accurately determining
areas, internal load densities such as people and watts per square foot,
special process loads, and any unusual conditions. Where more than
one room or zone has the same size, exposure, and internal loads, a
‘‘typical’’ calculation can be done. Corner zones should always be cal-
culated separately. East-facing zone loads will normally peak from 10
to 12 a.m., while most building loads will peak from 3 to 5 p.m. South-
facing zones are similar but will peak usually from noon to 2 p.m. and
