After the first paragraph, insert the following text as a new paragraph:"For lodging projects, FTE and transient occupants are calculated per the typical methodology for the respective occupancy types. Hotel guests may be determined based on the number and size of guest room units in the project. Generally, assume 1.5 occupants per guest room and multiply the resulting total by 60% (average hotel occupancy per American Hotel & Lodging Association information) to determine the total number of hotel guests. Alternatively, occupants may be derived from actual historical occupancy numbers. Fixture use assumptions for hotel guests follow the fixture assumptions for residential occupants. Accordingly, lavatories located in guest rooms are considered to be private lavatories. Additionally, day use guests at the hotel should be included in the value for transient / visitor occupants and are assumed to use common area restrooms. Per typical fixture use assumptions, this category of occupants assumes zero shower uses throughout the day. Example: 123 room hotelTotal Hotel Guests = 123*1.5 * 60%Total Hotel Guests = 111"
