Load Calculation

Building load calculations done right

Model the actual loads in your building — lighting, HVAC, motors, receptacles — and let ekx calculate the total connected load, apply demand factors, and size the service. No spreadsheet gymnastics.

What you get

All load types

Lighting, receptacles, motors, HVAC, cooking equipment, and custom loads — all modeled in one place.

NEC demand factors

Standard demand factors applied per NEC 220 based on load type and building occupancy.

Service sizing

Service entrance sized automatically from the calculated demand — main breaker, conductors, and grounding.

Panel loading

Loads distributed to panels with capacity tracking on every panel.

Fault current

Available fault current calculated at every panel and distribution point.

One model, all results

Load calculation, sizing, fault current, and voltage drop — all from the same model.

Building electrical design in one tool

Typically you'd do the load calculation in a spreadsheet, sizing in NEC tables, fault current in separate software, and the one-line in CAD. ekx puts it all in one model.

  • Model every load type in the building on the one-line diagram
  • Demand factors apply automatically per NEC 220
  • Service, distribution, and branch circuit sizing all calculated
  • Fault current and voltage drop included — no separate analysis

Frequently asked questions

What types of buildings can I model?

Commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-family residential buildings. ekx handles the load types and demand factors common to all building types.

Does it handle NEC optional method?

Standard NEC 220 calculation methods are supported. Optional calculation methods per NEC 220.82-220.87 can be evaluated.

Can I see panel-level loading?

Yes. Loads are connected to specific panels, and each panel shows connected load, demand load, and available capacity.

Does it generate a load schedule?

Load summaries are part of the analysis results and included in exported study reports.
