Hello, i'm designing a hotel project, and i would like to know how you guys interpret the NEC for these load calculations.
My project has:
Thanks!
My project has:
- 10 Levels of Hotel, and other 10 levels are for offices, kitchens, ballrooms, retail, restaurants, pool area and other types of spaces.
- 15 rooms per level (150Rooms).
- Each room has a number of general use receptacles, a coffee maker and a refrigerator(mini). Also, each room has a VRF Fancoil and lighting.
- Multiply each room area by 220.42(A) factor (1.7VA/Sq.ft), add them all.
- Add all hvac load at 100%.
- Add all of the above and size the main feeder for the hotel part of the building.
- Multiply each room area by 220.42(A) factor (1.7VA/Sq.ft), add them all. Multiply this value by the hotel demand factor in table 220.45.
- Add all hvac load at 100%.
- Add all of the above and size the main feeder for the hotel part of the building.
- Multiply each room area by 220.42(A) factor (1.7VA/Sq.ft), add them all. Multiply this value by the hotel demand factor in table 220.45.
- Add all hvac load at 100%.
- Add the coffee maker and minifridge of each room at 100%. This would be because i don't know if these are considered general use receptacles or small appliances branch circuits that would be calculated at 100% in a hotel.
- Add all of the above and size the main feeder for the hotel part of the building.
Thanks!
