Space usage fields
Field
Description
Additional area
Enter the number of square meters/feet used up by filing cabinets and the like.
Code
Enter a code for the space usage, for example consisting of the space code and a '_' + a serial number.
Core area
This field value is automatically calculated by Planon. The core area is the surface area taken up by walls, fixed columns, and small recesses for example. The formula for the calculation is: gross area – net area = core area.
End date
Enter the end date of the selected space usage.
Floor area
Enter the surface area that corresponds with the space usage. This field can also be used to register an alternative surface area for space usage, for example the actual floor surface area that needs to be cleaned. This may vary from the net area used to calculate the rentable area.
Fluxline correction
Enter the fluxline correction: surface area of the windowsill (measured up to the glass) added to the net surface area, with the aim of calculating the total rentable area of a space usage.
Gross area
Enter the surface area of the space usage as measured along the outer walls or the wall node of adjacent spaces.
Height
Enter the height of the space usage in meters/feet.
Name
Enter an appropriate space usage name in this field.
Net area
Enter the net area of a space usage. The value can also be loaded from a CAD drawing, using CAD Integrator . If the net area is loaded from a drawing, only one space usage is allowed on the current reference date.
Perimeter
Enter the space usage circumference. The value in the field can also be loaded from a CAD drawing by using CAD Integrator . If the net area is loaded from a drawing, only one space usage is allowed on the current reference date.
Rentable area
The default value in this field is automatically calculated as the sum of net area and flux line correction. If no specific flux line correction is provided, the Net area value is applied. You can manually edit the field, but if the specified value does not match the sum of net area and flux line correction, it becomes a non-calculated field and it will no longer update after changes to the value of the net area or flux line correction. You can always make the field 'calculated' again by updating the values, thus returning to the situation where the value is equal to the sum of the net area and flux line correction.
Rentable unit
Specify a rentable unit for the space usage.
Space capacity
In this field, you can enter the number of workspaces for the selected space usage. This number is not connected to the number of workspaces linked to the space at Space details > Workspaces.
Start date
Enter the start date of the space usage in this field. The start date of space usage cannot be earlier than the start date of the space itself.
Space type
Select the space type to which a space belongs.
* 
You cannot change the Space type to 'non-assignable' (Assignable = No) if there are still people assigned to one or more related spaces.
Tariff group
Select a relevant tariff group for the space usage from the pick list in this field.
Neighborhood
This non-editable field is automatically populated based on space usage. If all related space usages share the same neighborhood, this field displays that neighborhood. If they differ, this field remains empty.
Volume
This calculated field displays the volume of the space usage. The formula for the calculation is:
net area * height = volume.
* 
The space usage dimensions from the Miscellaneous tab are linked to single or multiple space usage that is linked to the physical space. As far as multiple simultaneous space usage is concerned, the sum of the dimensions of all space usage should preferably be the same as the net space dimensions. This ensures that space usage is displayed correctly in space mappings.
* 
If you select the Deactivate reference date toolbar button, some read-only data fields of the selected space usage, for example the Property and Floor fields, will be cleared. This is due to the fact that these fields refer to an element that is also reference-date-dependent. Consequently, if the reference date is deactivated, the corresponding field data cannot be retrieved from the system. As soon as you activate the reference date, these fields will display data again.
Service providers solution
Weighting factor
Enter the weighting factor (decimal) that must be used in malus calculations for the selected space, in case of under-performance. The minimum value you can set is 0.01.
Area Calculation Fields
Building amenity area
Space provided by the landlord for the use and benefit of all occupants in the building such as shared conference room or fitness center. Can be easily converted to occupant area.
In this field, you can specify the building amenity area.
Building service area
Spaces which provide necessary services or circulation for the normal operation of the building such as building Mechanical rooms and the main lobby. Also known as building common area.
In this field, you can specify the building service area.
Floor allocation
Floor totals and Building totals (i.e., calculated at the space level summed up at Floor and Building level).
In this field, you can specify the floor allocation.
Floor service area
All the areas necessary for the proper use of the occupants such as restrooms, corridors, or electrical rooms.
In this field, you can specify the floor service area.
Floor usable area
Sum of Occupant area and Building Amenity Area .
In this field, you can specify the floor usable area.
Occupant area
Sum of Tenant area (floor) and Tenant ancillary area (floor).
In this field, you can specify the occupant area.
Rentable area
Floor allocation multiplied by Building allocation ratio.
In this field, you can specify the rentable area.
Rentable exclusions
This includes Major vert penetrations, Occupant storage (only located on a non-leased floor) and Parking.
In this field, you can specify the rentable exclusions.
Tenant ancillary area
Floor totals and Building totals (i.e., calculated at the space level summed up at Floor and Building level).
In this field, you can specify the tenant ancillary area.
Tenant area
Floor totals and Building totals (i.e., calculated at the space level summed up at Floor and Building level).
In this field, you can specify the tenant area.
