question 6, real world practice PPD / calculating MEP systems, exercise A
Welcome to the Black Spectacles Community @mahsa_vanaki! Thanks for writing in.
The lobby is included in this occupant load calculation of 185 total occupants. It would be considered a business space, so you’d use a load factor of 150 sf/occupant, just like you would for the other spaces and their respective load factors.
