        Average occupancy by building and point #. (“Occupied)

          Are there spaces that are significantly more or less occupied?

          Hint:

            Anything with occupancy above 65% is identified as high use.

            Between 30-65% is average use

            Below 30% is underutilized.

            Average # of people by building and point #. (PEOPLE)

            Average occupancy and number of people by workspace type.

              Each of these analyses should be its own tab in a sheet (Google or Excel) called [Client - Usability Analysis]

              Highlight important insights for the writer/maker to include in the document.

              NOTE: After synthesis, it will be important to go back to the usability data and analyze any extra variables/spaces that are important based upon the qual findings.
