Hi, We have a CS v2009 building that is a mixed use occupancy. We are trying to project the occupancy, A-3 General Assembly portion, using the default occupancy counts. Since Assembly is not listed in the CS Appendix 1 Default Occupancy Numbers where can we find the Number to use for employees and transients for the Assembly category to project the count? Thank you-

Hi Cathy, In ASHRAE 90.1-2007 User's Manual, there is the Table G-B—Acceptable Occupant Densities, Receptacle Power Densities, and Service Hot Water Consumption. For the building type "Assembly", they suggest 50 ft2/person. I hope this helps.
