RP-1093 -- Compilation of Diversity Factors and Schedules for Energy and Cooling Load Calculations PDF

This is the final report for the ASHRAE 1093-RP project. The project was carried out in three phases, with reports prepared and submitted to the Project Monitoring Subcommittee (PMSC) during the ASHRAE Meetings in Seattle (June 1999), Dallas (January 2000), and Minneapolis (June 2000).

In Phase I, a literature review was performed on day-typing analysis and building classification schemes, and an initial search was made of the available databases that could possibly be used by the project. Phase II clarified the available databases, defined the different office categories that would be used, and determined the uncertainty calculations that could be used in the diversity factor calculations. Finally, in Phase III the identified analysis methods were applied to the chosen databases to develop the diversity profiles.

This final report presents the method used to derive the diversity factors and typical hourly load shapes of lighting and receptacle loads in office buildings. In this report the results of the analysis of data collected from databases at the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) are reported.

Included in the zip file are the Final Report, the Phase I, II, and III Reports and an Excel spreadsheet. NOTE: File size=17.3 MB.
