I am working on a LEED EB project, the Total Peak occupancy filled in Plf 3 is clear, however, but just wonder how this number can also maintain reasonable in IEQ P1 in order to calculate the Population Diversity (D) ? Since the Total Peak Occupancy for IEQ P1 might has to include the seatcount in conference room.
Please advice, thanks!

Hi Tam
For IEQp1, I would use the maximum expected population for each space, just to ensure that you're accounting for worst case scenario. This way you are keeping consistent numbers between PIf3 and IEQp1, and also demonstrates to the reviewers that you are testing and performing calculations under the worst-case conditions.
Best.
