Frequently Asked Questions
QUESTION
Are there any changes to BOMA BEST certification eligibility criteria?
No, the Certification Eligibility Criteria has not changed: at least 50% occupancy rate is required for 12 consecutive months (i.e. percentage of actively leased floor area).
Occupancy rate is based on the percentage of the gross leasable area that is actively leased. This is different from the occupant density which is based on the percentage of occupants actually inside the building on a given day.
