As more and more residential complexes will be developed in the future, this paper tries to establish the definitions and standards for the estimation of power demands in these areas and propose standards for the estimation of power demands for power companies and construction companies to settle the debates surrounding this issue. Through a survey and analysis of existing areas, new standards that will enable more accurate estimation of power demands in new cities complexes to be developed in the future are established by calculating the average load density, load factor, utilization factor by area, use and building size after dividing the facilities into building type. Also, for general hospitals, sports facilities and government buildings of the non residential building category, metropolitan areas, where these facilities are concentrated, are surveyed and analyzed.

New cities and industrial complexes are being developed actively because of the government policies aiming population distribution and vitalization of construction industry. To determine the investment amount, number of power lines and substations for stable power supply to newly developed residential and industrial complexes, accurate estimation of power demand is necessary. This paper propose standards for the estimation of power demands for power company and construction company to settle the debates surrounding this issue. Through a survey and analysis of existing areas, new standards that will enable more accurate estimation of power demands in new cities complexes to be developed in the future are established by calculating the average load density, load factor, utilization factor by area, use and building size after dividing the facilities into building type and the areas into the areas planned to be developed and the areas not yet planned to be developed.
