Meeting density

What is meeting density?

Meeting density is the number of meetings held in a space within a given period, such as per hour, per day or per week. High density shows when and where rooms are under pressure, while low density shows spaces and times with spare capacity.

Why meeting density matters

Averages hide peaks. A building can look half empty across the week and still be impossible to book on Tuesday mornings. Looking at meeting density hour by hour shows when demand concentrates and which rooms carry it.

How it is measured

Count the meetings booked per room or per floor in each time slot, then view the result as a grid of rooms by hour or by weekday. Combined with utilization, it shows whether a busy room is busy because of many short meetings or a few long ones.

How AskCody helps

AskCody workplace analytics reports bookings, attendees and utilization per room and desk, filtered by location, room type and period, giving workplace teams the booking data needed to see when and where meetings concentrate.

Frequently asked questions

Is high meeting density a problem?

Not by itself. It becomes a problem when people cannot find a room at peak times, or when meetings are shorter than the time they block.

How is meeting density different from utilization?

Utilization measures the share of time or seats used. Meeting density counts how many meetings take place.
