How do diversity factors vary depending on building type and occupancy?

Diversity factors can differ significantly depending on the building type, occupancy patterns, and activities within the building. For example, a hospital may have a higher diversity factor for people loads due to the varying schedules of doctors, nurses, and patients. In contrast, an office building with a regular 9-to-5 schedule may have a lower diversity factor for people loads. Engineers should consider the specific characteristics of the building and its occupants when selecting diversity factors.
