# Capacity definitions

## 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.
