demand factor

[fireryan]

I am sizing a service for a dental clinic. Is there no demand factor to apply for the service size?

Basically not that I am aware of.

If you had a really large facility maybe you could call it a hospital and apply lighting demand factors.

You might be able to use demand factors on receptacle loads per 220.44. Doesn't look like would be a major impact on a typical dental clinic though.

If you have any space that isn't patient care related, office space, or general storage areas - maybe you have some possible things that can have demand factors applied. Super neat break room that practically can be called a dwelling maybe? Most are not going to be that way though.

Ok thats what I was seeing also. Thanks for your input, wish there was better service calculation examples in Annex D for services other than residential
