    Doreen... is this homework?

    Well all you have to do is inspect every fixture, check all wattages. Then go to each appliance, find the label and look at the current draw. Then calculate the totals and you have the total load... assuming that everything is running / lighting at the same time. Simple, eh?

    Service rating and branch circuit load calculations are done in accordance with Article 220 of the National Electric Code.

    This can be reviewed here:

    Examples for each type of calculation can be found in the rear of the book.

    There is no step by step method, or shortcuts, as each building is unique.
