How much load factor is too much?
first time poster here  let me know if its the right r/.

&amp;#x200B;

Is a 1.5 load factor to high to calculate rentable SQFT?  Ie. usable space 800sqft x1.5 = rentable 1200sqft? our facility is a laboratory building with quite a few conference rooms and a cafeteria area where the tenants will be able to use.

At 800 feet, though, I can't imagine where this is coming from if we're talking about common areas such as conference areas and a cafeteria?  Expanding on the situation might help us help you...
