What tool can be used, with AF Form 487s, to determine real property facility power requirements?

• A. An energy audit report
• B. A site survey map
• C. A fuel consumption chart
• D. A load table

Answer: (D)

When planning real property facility power, you must quantify every electrical load to size the system accurately. A load table gathers all the major loads in the facility—equipment, lighting, HVAC, outlets—listing each with its rated power and quantity, plus any applicable demand factors. By totaling these and applying peak or demand factors, you derive the facility’s total real property power requirements. This exact information is what you use with AF Form 487s to request electrical service or modifications, ensuring the service size matches actual demand rather than guesswork. An energy audit report focuses on energy efficiency and usage patterns, which is useful for conservation but not the specific demand data required for service requests. A site survey map shows the physical locations of equipment and layouts, not the electrical load quantities. A fuel consumption chart tracks generator fuel use, not the ongoing power requirements of the facility.
