| | Clearing Up Multi-Family Dwelling Unit Calculations |
 | | You can use a demand factor of 75% for four or more appliances fastened in place, such as dishwashers, waste disposals, trash compactors, or water heaters, but not space-heating equipment (220.15), clothes dryers (220.18), cooking appliances (220.19), or air-conditioning equipment. |
 | | It shows that the demand factor must be calculated based on the formula: %=35-[0.5×(number of dryers-23)]. |
 | | Another factor that you need to consider is the house panel for the loads not found in the individual apartments, such as corridor lighting, outside lighting, parking lot lighting, sign lighting, or maybe even a sprinkler system. |
