Frequently Asked Questions

What is office space utilization?

Office space utilization measures how often and how effectively desks, rooms, and other areas are actually used. It goes beyond assigned capacity to show real usage patterns, helping organizations understand whether space aligns with how employees work.

How is office space utilization different from office occupancy?

Occupancy shows who is physically present in the office, while utilization shows how spaces are used over time. A space can be occupied but poorly utilized, or lightly occupied but highly efficient. Utilization connects attendance to space demand and behavior.

Why is office space utilization important?

Without utilization data, workplace decisions are often based on assumptions. Accurate utilization insights help organizations reduce wasted space, plan capacity more effectively, and design offices that better support collaboration, focus, and employee experience.

How does Skedda measure office space utilization?

Skedda combines booking data, check-ins, and Wi-Fi-based occupancy signals to provide a realistic picture of how desks and rooms are used. This ensures utilization insights reflect real behavior, not just reservations.

How do ghost bookings affect utilization data?

Ghost bookings occur when spaces are reserved but never used. They inflate perceived demand and distort utilization metrics. Skedda automatically releases unused bookings, keeping utilization data accurate and actionable.

Can office space utilization help reduce real estate costs?

Yes. Utilization data helps identify underused areas, overcrowded zones, and mismatches between space supply and demand. These insights support decisions around resizing, reconfiguring layouts, or reallocating space before making costly real estate changes.

What types of decisions can teams make with utilization data?

Teams use utilization insights to adjust seating ratios, redesign floor plans, prioritize collaboration areas, plan office schedules, and evaluate whether current space supports business and cultural goals.

How does office space utilization support long-term workplace planning?

By tracking trends over time, utilization data helps organizations forecast future needs, respond to changing work patterns, and continuously improve how space is used—rather than reacting based on short-term observations.
