The document calculates the floor area ratio (FAR) and built-up area of a plot measuring 9x12 meters, with a maximum building height of 9 meters and 75% ground coverage. The FAR is calculated as 1.5, resulting in a built-up area of 162 square meters or 1743 square feet for the two-story building. The document then calculates the electrical load for the building based on FAR as 5.5 kVA, and alternatively without FAR as 3.92 kVA.
Original Description:
Floor Area Ratio calculation for electrical design
The document calculates the floor area ratio (FAR) and built-up area of a plot measuring 9x12 meters, with a maximum building height of 9 meters and 75% ground coverage. The FAR is calculated as 1.5, resulting in a built-up area of 162 square meters or 1743 square feet for the two-story building. The document then calculates the electrical load for the building based on FAR as 5.5 kVA, and alternatively without FAR as 3.92 kVA.

Plot Area in Sq. m. = 108 Road Width =9m. Maximum Height of the building = 9m. No. of Floors =2 Ground Coverage = 75% Floor Area for single Floor = 81Sq. m. Total Floor Area for Two floors = 162Sq. m. Floor Area Ratio (FAR) = 162/108 = 1.5
BUILT-UP AREA CALCULATION:
Built up area = FAR x Plot Area in Sq. m. = 1.5 x 108 = 162Sq. m.
Total Floor/Built up area in Sq. ft. = 162 x 10.76
= 1743.12Sq. ft.
LOAD CALCULATION WITH FAR:
Load Assessment as per KERC Based on Area = 7kW (Area from 1200 Sq. ft. to 2400 Sq. ft.) Diversity factor as per KERC = 1.5 Total Diversified Load in kW = kW/Diversity Factor = 7/1.5 = 4.67kW. Power Factor = 0.85 Total Load in kVA = kW/Power factor = 4.67/0.85 = 5.5kVA.
LOAD CALCULATION WITHOUT FAR:
Plot Area in Sq. m. = 108 Plot Area in Sq. ft. = 1162.08 Load Assessment as per KERC = 5kW. Diversity factor = 1.5 Diversified Load in kW = 5/1.5 = 3.33kW. Total Load in kVA = 3.33/0.85 = 3.92kVA.
