Buildings with occupancy rates below 50% are only eligible for the BOMA BEST Baseline Certified.

To be eligible for a higher level of certification (Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum), a building must have a minimum occupancy rate of 50% for 12 consecutive months, at a minimum.

The occupancy rate is based on the percentage of the net leasable area that is actively leased. This is different from the occupant density, which is based on the percentage of occupants who are actually inside the building on a given day.

(Average actively leased area in past 12 months / Total Net Leasable Area) x 100
