    What would be the general lighting load for this home?
    Imagine that I'm working in a one-family dwelling that has a floor area of 1800sq. ft. (exclusive of an unfinished cellar that's not adaptable for future use, an unfinished attic, and open porches). The appliances in the home are an 11kW range and a 6kW, 240 V dryer.
