Panels - improvement list

[lixiliu]

[1] Add loads for fridge, extra fridge, and freezer if present at 350W each.
(Freezers and fridges happen to average out to 344W each, based on 6 refrigerators and 3 freezers, all Frigidaire products as they are the only ones listing the rated amp in their spec sheet)

[2] Allocate 120V branch circuits for general lighting/receptacles at one / 500 sqft (NEC 570.10)
No. of 120V branches = (sqft / 500).ceil

[3] Only add laundry circuit if unit has in-unit washer or dryer

[4] Currently heating and cooling AHU loads are taken as fan_power * air_flow_rate (which varies between heating and cooling, even for heat pump), we should take the max of heating or cooling AHU load when the AHU is shared between heating and cooling.

[5] Integrate 2026 NEC revision

This list will likely continue to evolve.
