When calculating for preferred parking spaces, don’t forget to round up! For example if you have (125 FTE X 0.05) ÷ 2, you are required to have 3.13 spaces—you will be required to provide 4 spaces and not 3.

Calculate 5% of the total building occupant FTE, to determine the number of carpool and vanpool preferred parking spaces will need to be allocated. Assuming that all carpools will have two occupants per vehicle the calculation will be as follows. However, if you know there will be more occupants per vehicles, adjust the calculations to reflect the difference. Consequently, you may not need to provide as many parking spaces but will need to justify the reasoning.
Total required preferred parking spaces = (FTE X 0.05) ÷ 2.

Calculate the total building occupant FTE, based on an eight-hour occupancy period. An FTE occupant of eight hours has a value of one (8 hours ÷ 8). A part-time occupant, on the other hand, has a fractional value (number of hours ÷ 8). If the building has

Calculate the total building occupant FTE, based on an eight-hour occupancy period. An FTE occupant of eight hours has a value of one (8 hours ÷ 8). A part-time occupant, on the other hand, has a fractional value (number of hours ÷ 8). If the building has shifts, calculate the FTE based on the highest volume shift. It follows that:
Total FTE total building occupants = Total Occupant Hours ÷ 8.
