Definitions of capacity numbers used in Basking
Total Seat Capacity
The available capacity in terms of total seats at the office. This includes seats in meeting rooms, break-out areas, lobby areas, etc.
Note: Each company can define specifically which space types to include in this capacity count.
Capacity in Workstations
The available capacity in terms of workstations at the office.
Adjusted Capacity
Adjusted Capacity refers to a modified seating or occupancy limit, expressed as a percentage of either the Total Seat Capacity or the Capacity in Workstations, applied during a defined period of temporary change. This adjustment reflects external or internal constraints that temporarily impact how much of a workplace can be safely or effectively used.
Adjusted Capacity is often used to account for temporary restrictions due to operational, regulatory, or organizational reasons. These may include:
-
Facility renovations or partial closures for maintenance or retrofitting.
-
Safety regulations, such as fire code limitations during audits or inspections.
-
Company policies, like pilot programs for hybrid work or phased return-to-office plans.
-
Environmental factors, such as extreme weather events or natural disasters affecting accessibility.
-
Special events hosted in parts of the office, reducing available workspace.
This metric provides an accurate reflection of available capacity under temporary constraints and is essential for planning, reporting, and ensuring compliance with safety or strategic initiatives.
