NC-v4.1 LTc6:Bicycle Facilities

Peak Visitors for bike parking

Hello,

Where can I find information on peak visitors for residential units? I cannot find an equation for calculating the number of peak visitors in a residential building using any of the recommended standards. 

 ASHRAE 62.1-2010 Table 6-1 gives default on residents but not peak visitors.

This will be used to determine bike and car parking facilities.

Thank you

Amy

I've never seen a standard equation for this either. I typically assume something like daily average visitors = 10% of residents and peak visitors = 25% of residents. Haven't ever had a reviewer question those numbers, I think they're mostly concerned that you have accounted for visitors at all.

Thank you, Emily. This is really helpful and something I can easily calculate.  Best, Amy
