In calculating a load for an office building 220.14(K) directs you to use either 1 watt per sq ft added to the 3.5 watt general lighting or 180 watts per yoke whichever is greater.
If you use the 180va per yoke it appears you can apply the demand factor of 220.44 to that load but if you use the 1 watt adder to the General Lighting there is no adjustment.
Is this correct ??.
