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

I don't see figures like those you are referring to being requested on the IEQp1 forum Please correct me if I'm wrong, or missing something.

I would make sure that the aggregate system level occupancy, after accounting for diversity, is close to the Total Peak occupancy included on PIf3.
If you are using the 62MZ calculator that value can be adjusted manually after the potentially critical zones are input. One other thought is that seat count is not necessarily the appropriate value for occupancy to input for the potentially critical zones. Instead, the EBOM calculation requires us to input the number of occupants based on the max occupancy observed during normal operations for the space.
