NC-2009 PIf3: Occupant and Usage Data
Hey,
We are working on an office in New York, but I really do not know how to fill FTE calculations, Can you please give me some information on where can I find some information regarding data collection and how are these calculations are done?
Thank you!!

Daniel,
The client's program might give you numbers of workstations, conference rooms, etc, but often doesn't have enough detail to calculate the full-time equivalent FTE and transient/ visitor numbers. You might need to ask them for the number of full time employees, number of part time employees (and how many hours per week they work), and an estimate of the number of visitors on a typical day.
When you calculate the number of transients/ visitors to the office, you need to figure out “Peak” and “Daily average.” Daily average is the total number of visitors who walk through the door on a typical day; peak is the number of visitors at the busiest time of a typical day.
Hope that helps. Post back here with more questions if you need.
