To understand how the formula works, consider the example of a house
with 1,800 square feet (based on outside dimensions) of finished
living space and space adaptable for future use. The house has the
usual two small-appliance circuits (3,000 watts), a laundry circuit
(1,500 watts), a hot water heater (5,500 watts), a clothes dryer

watts), a range (15,000 watts), and a central air conditioner (5,000
watts).
