The Maximum Demand Calculator calculates Maximum Demand, according to the rules in Appendix C of the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000:2007).
At the moment it only performs calculations for Houses and Units. In the near future it will also be able to calculate maximum demand for other installation types, like offices, factories, hotels, etc.
The Maximum Demand Calculator operates over the internet, so you can use it from your internet connected computer or mobile phone (including iPhones). You don't have to download or install anything. Just click on Register, and then go to "Add new job" to get started.
The Maximum Demand Calculator is free.
Anyone can register and use the Maximum Demand Calculator. However all electrical installations must be performed by a licensed electrician.

The Maximum Demand Calculator is still undergoing testing, so you need to double check its calculation results against the official reg book (you can buy the reg book from the SAI Global Infostore).
