In this large community center they decided to replace the gas central heating with electric. Upstairs some 19 new panel heaters were connected to about 4 ring main circuits, some were spurred, others just with 13a sockets. The heaters are 1 Kw but 2 are 1.5Kw. Upstairs everything runs off a distribution box that has a large number of outlets and the master switch is rated at 100 Amps. Off this box also there are 2 hot air driers for the toilets, kitchen things, electric hob, kettle, toaster, there are 5 air conditioning units, large office area with about 14 computers + servo room & printer and I would guess about 100 large LED ceiling panel lights. Also there is a water heater feeding the upstairs toilet area. Given that 1st thing in the morning when the building will be cold, all the heaters will be turned on + kettle + cooker hob + all the lights & computers running, all the lights on, is this OK, it's well above 100 Amps. Excuse my ignorance but it does not feel right.
