What is Occupancy Per Square Foot?

Occupancy per square foot is a measure of how many people can safely and comfortably occupy a space based on the area available. This calculation is often used for event planning, building codes, and fire safety regulations to ensure that a space is not overcrowded. It takes into account the need for personal space and safe egress in case of an emergency.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ O = \left\lfloor \frac{1000}{10} \right\rfloor = 100 \text{ people} \]

The Occupancy is 100 people.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ O = \left\lfloor \frac{1500}{15} \right\rfloor = 100 \text{ people} \]

The Occupancy is 100 people.
