Note:
A) The following occupancy rates should be followed for the areas listed below:
• Presidential Suites living/dining area: 15 - 20 ft 2 per person
• Two bedroom suite living/dining area: 15 - 20 ft 2 per person
• One bedroom suite living/dining area: 4 persons
The preliminary lighting and power load estimate used in corridor areas typically range between
35 – 45 w/10 ft 2 .
B) The lighting and power loads in office areas typically range between 30-55
w/10 ft 2 for lighting with electronic ballasts and 55-75 w/10 ft 2 for lighting with standard
ballasts.
C) The cooling load for Fitness Center exercise rooms should be calculated based on a fully
occupied room with guests doing a vigorous workout. The Spa and Fitness Center lighting and
power loads should range between 30-55 w/10 ft 2 . However, for the exercise rooms located
within the Fitness Center, lighting and power loads typically range between 100-160 w/10 ft 2 .
This is primarily due to the heat generated from the number of exercise machines located in
these rooms.
D) The activity level for each person is a function of the usage for the specific area served. A
substantially greater quantity of heat is dissipated in activities like dancing or exercising as
opposed to sedentary type of activities. ASHRAE Standard 55-1992 should be followed.
