Could you assist me with developing a formula to calculate the occupancy for a conference centre?
We are located in Barbados and we currently use a occupancy calculation which somehow does not show a positive reflection of our weekly and monthly occupancies.
We have twelve meeting rooms and we based the calculation on the maximum usage per day:
We use the following:
Room Occupancy Guidelines
Total Maximum Hours per day for all rooms except Flamboyant or Hibiscus 12hrs
Upper Foyer 12
Foyer Annex 12
Ginger Lily 12
Marigold 12
E109 12
Marigold Annex 12
Sugar Mill Dining Room 12
Tiffany Dining Room 12
Heliconia 12
Sunflower 12
Main Foyer 12
Secretariat 12
Lower Foyer 12
Total Hrs 156
Total Maximum Hours per day for Flamboyant or Hibiscus 8 hrs
Flamboyant 8
Hibiscus 8
Total Hrs 16
Total number of hours 156 + 16 = 172 (hours were rounded up to 175)
(Assumption: It will take longer to change over/setup/clean large rooms)
Total Number of Hours 175 per day for entire Centre
Maximum Rental Time for month
175 x 30 = 5250hrs
Maximum Rental Hours per week
5250 / 4 = 1313hrs
Room Occupancy = Actual Hrs / Maximum Hrs x 100
Of course it is not as easy as a hotel would calculate their room occupancy since we have meeting rooms which can hold a number of meeting per day.
Could you please assist me. We have been trying for a while to find the correct calculation.
Thanks
