Talk:Loss factor

Loss vs. load

This reverted page is incorrect. The Loss and Load factor are not the same thing and the formula stated herein is also incorrect. See the definition of Load Factor here: http://www1.officespace.com/terms.cfm

It provides further confirmation that 1) this page is incorrect and 2) the Loss Factor page should not redirect to Load Factor, instead they should each have their own page. Dzabrisk (talk) 20:04, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

That's inconsistent with the reference, currently listed as #3 (http://www.officefinder.com/boma.html#sthash.gdbdrL0c.dpbs) which appears to be a reliable source. Perhaps the best way to handle it is to note in the article that different sources have different definitions and give both citing the reliable sources. Does that make sense?

The officefinder.com website is incorrect. Here is another source which also confirms the officefinder.com inaccuracy: http://www.buildingareameasurement.com/glossary.htm Compare the "Load Factor" vs. "Loss Factor" terms on this page. It specifically calls out the difference between the two. Dzabrisk (talk) 19:37, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

That makes sense. Thanks Dzabrisk. Toddst1 (talk) 19:42, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Copyright issues

The page has been restored to a redirect after an IP editor flagged at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2014 September 20 that it is word-for-word copied from its source, which is in any event a commercial entity not consistent with WP:V and WP:IRS. Please use a scholarly source if creating an article. See also WP:Copy-paste. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 11:14, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation Necessary

While I see that [loss factor] is used for real estate, there is also the phrase which can be used widely within engineering systems . How do we cleanly go about creating a new loss factor disambiguation method? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Antwan718 (talk • contribs) 00:59, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
