Has anyone of experience in including a fitness center m to an office building. One of the tenants of our Project will be a fittness center. All fit outs will be done by the tenants. The owner will only be responsable for the core & shell. Has anyone experiency to calculate the occupancy of a fitness center. There are three aspects I identfied: 1. Peak occupancy Peak occupancy can be defined by ASHRAE 62.1 table 6.1 2. Avarage occupancy The center will not allways be fully occupied over the whole day. Has anyone an idea about a realistic percentage (e.g. 60%)? 3. Avarage abode time of an user A visitor of a fittness center is supposed to stay only for a short time (e.g. 1-2 hours). Every visitor is expected to use the shower and mayby WC or Urinal. Has anyone an idea about realistic adobe time of visitors. My general approach is: #Daily visitors = (peak occupancy x avarage occupancy) x (abode time / opening hours) Thank you very much.

Ralf, in specific project circumstances like this one, I typically recommend that you do your best to estimate the numbers based on what you know about the fitness centers in this case, any similar centers, and reasonable guesses. In my experience, LEED is not likely to pick apart these numbers too much, since the numbers will be the same for the baseline and design cases.If you are claiming savings from rainwater or graywater usage, then getting a handle on the real amounts of water used is more important, however.
