Occupant schedule (High) Equipment load (Low) Equipment load (High) In order to insure that the correct numbers of occupants are present at any given hour, it is necessary to multiply all diversity factors by all occupant loads for each space and sum the total occupant count for the building.
Passenger load factor is an important parameter for the assessment of the performance of any transport system. Almost all transport systems have high fixed costs, and these costs can only be recovered through selling tickets. [2] Airlines often calculate a load factor at which the airline will break even; this is called the break-even load ...
Crush load – High passenger vehicle occupancy leading to crushing; Headway – Distance between vehicles in a transit system measured in time or space; Passenger load factor – Capacity utilization of public transport; Traffic flow – Study of interactions between travellers and infrastructure
Wang et al. (2005) showed the impact that uncertainties in weather data (among others) may cause in energy demand calculations. [6] The deviation in calculated energy use due to variability in the weather data were found to be different in different locations from a range of (-0.5% to 3%) in San Francisco to a range of (-4% to 6%) in Washington ...
The energy efficiency in transport is the useful travelled distance, of passengers, goods or any type of load; divided by the total energy put into the transport propulsion means. The energy input might be rendered in several different types depending on the type of propulsion, and normally such energy is presented in liquid fuels , electrical ...
Description of the design comfort conditions: The conditions should combine indoor and outdoor factors at which occupant thermal comfort shall be evaluated and cover the most challenging scenarios for occupant comfort. Every unique combination of space and representative occupant must be evaluated under at least two conditions: cooling and heating.
When the load factor is +1, all occupants of the aircraft feel that their weight is normal. When the load factor is greater than +1 all occupants feel heavier than usual. For example, in a 2 g maneuver all occupants feel that their weight is twice normal. When the load factor is zero, or very small, all occupants feel weightless.
In electrical engineering the load factor is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a specified time period. [1] It is a measure of the utilization rate, or efficiency of electrical energy usage; a high load factor indicates that load is using the electric system more efficiently, whereas consumers or generators that underutilize the electric distribution will have a low load ...
