is the process of estimating the highest amount of electrical power a building or installation will draw at any single point in time.
The following table summarizes the load breakdown and applied diversity: Load Group Description Connected Load (A) Diversity Factor (%) Assessed Demand (A) All internal/external LED fittings [e.g., 66%] Power Outlets General purpose socket outlets [e.g., 100% of first + 40% balance] Heating/AC HVAC units and water heaters [e.g., 75%–100%] Cooking Electric ranges and ovens [Standard allowance] Specialized EV chargers, lifts, machinery [e.g., 75%–100%] maximum demand calculation
Once MD is calculated and understood, facilities often implement to reduce costs. is the process of estimating the highest amount
