Core TSIs : Agile Workplace Management : Dashboards : AWM Dashboards : Utilization
Utilization
Utilization is the number that indicates the occupancy of reservable spaces (meeting rooms) that can hold multiple persons. The utilization percentage can be used to indicate the effectiveness of a meeting room.
* 
When setting AWM Dashboard settings > Show utilization charts to Yes, the utilization chart will be displayed. Default, the chart is not shown.
For API 4 valid data is only provided if the occupancy was actually measured (based on the Person count field).
For API 3, utilitzation needs to be interpreted based on the Occupancy value field (0, 1, >1). Here, the question is whether the value 1 means Occupancy=yes or Occupancy=1 person.
* 
Only use this utilization chart in API 3 if your sensoring system actually measures occupancy.
Utilization calculation
• The actual occupancy data is collected per minute.
• This number is divided by the number of minutes during which a location was valid (in status 3,4) multiplied by the number of persons the location can hold (capacity).
• The result is a list of data per minute, which is aggregated per hour:

Total: 13 minutes
39 cumulative occupancy
Example
The utilization is calculated as the cumulative occupancy (39) divided by the number of minutes during which the location was occupied (7) times the maximum capacity of the location (8). The outcome of this calculation is multiplied by 100 and the result is the utilization (expressed in a percentage):
Utilization
Cumulative occupancy /
Minutes in status: 3, 4
39 / (7*8)
* 100
=
69,6%

Including only valid measurements ensures that the focus remains on actual reservations and that it is possible to compare data over time.
