I don't think there's a way to tell OS to not use the SpaceType's load when you add your own load of the same type.
Instead you'll have to define a space type "Lab" with all common loads such as equipment etc, but no People. And each of the spaces of type lab should have their own specific People object added.
It'd be quite easy to setup a simple script that would load a mapping of Space Name => People into a ruby structure (a hash for eg), then you loop on the "Lab" space type's spaces, and if you find the space name in the hash's keys, you assign its value, otherwise you assign a default value.
