Pietro,
A few weeks ago, I suggested the following
documentation (on another forum, me thinks):
Abushakra B., Sreshthaputra A., Haberl J. and Claridge D.E. (2001)
"Compilation of diversity factors and schedules for energy and cooling load
calculations" American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning
Engineers RP-1093.
Claridge D.E., Abushakra B., Haberl J. and Sreshthaputra
A. (2004) "Electricity Diversity Profiles for Energy Simulation of Office
Buildings" ASHRAE Transactions 110(1).
Beware: lighting diversity profiles suggested by
ASHRAE-RP-1093 apply to core zones, not peripheral zones subjected to natural
illuminance ...
Lighting power densities of 10-15 W/m² make sense
in open-plan office areas; 15-20 W/m² would likely apply to cellular offices
...
Hope this helps,
Denis Bourgeois
