Max Occupancy Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Max Occupancy (MO) is:

\[ \text{MO} = \frac{\text{A}}{\text{UA}} \]

Where:

\(\text{MO}\) is the Max Occupancy (people)
\(\text{A}\) is the area of the room (ft²)
\(\text{UA}\) is the occupancy index (ft²/person)

Max Occupancy Definition

Max occupancy refers to the maximum number of people that can safely occupy a room or space based on its area and the occupancy index. This calculation is important for ensuring safety and compliance with building codes and regulations.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Area of the room (A) = 1000 ft²
Occupancy index (UA) = 20 ft²/person

Using the formula:

\[ \text{MO} = \frac{1000}{20} = 50 \text{ people} \]

The Max Occupancy (MO) is 50 people.
