Diversity Factor (%)

Individual Zone Loads

Zone 1: 10000 BTU/hr

Zone 2: 8000 BTU/hr

Zone 3: 12000 BTU/hr

Zone 4: 9000 BTU/hr

Zone 5: 11000 BTU/hr

50,000

Total Individual Load BTU/hr

37,500

Diversified Load BTU/hr

Diversity Reduction %

Formula:

Q_{total} = \sum Q_i

Calculation:

Q_{total} = 10000 + 8000 + 12000 + 9000 + 11000

Result:

50000 \text{ BTU/hr}

Formula:

Q_{diversified} = Q_{total} \times DF

Calculation:

Q_{diversified} = 50000 \times 0.75

Result:

37500 \text{ BTU/hr}
