# Stochastic Branch Takeoff
|
|
|
|
generate a BOM from point loads distributed in a space.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- x: 302.84
|
|
y: 2364.47
|
|
kW: 5.3
|
|
voltage: 277
|
|
phases: 1
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
determine relative impact of factors
|
|
* allowable voltage drop

## Average Distance Given Area
|
|
|
|
Holding area constant,
|
|
average taxicab distance between points
|
|
varies greatly with the aspect ratio of the space.
|
|
Weighted by a probability distribution
|
|
an average length and confidence could be given for any known area.

|
|
|
|
Maximum area per floor is sometimes capped by
|
|
[[ibc-construction-types]] or [[ibc-occupancy-classifications]],
|
|
either directly (see [[ibc_ch05]], [[ibc_ch09]]),
|
|
or by maximum travel distance (see [[ibc_ch10]]).

Stairwells are expensive. There are usually only 2 or 3. |
