Occupancy Load Calculator
Calculate the maximum occupancy of a space from floor area and its occupant load factor.
About this calculator
The occupancy load calculator divides floor area by a use-specific occupant load factor (sqft per person, set by building code) to estimate the maximum number of people that space can legally hold.
Worked example
2,000 sqft office at 100 sqft/person
Result: Maximum occupants = 20
