1. What is Meeting Room Setup Calculation?

The Meeting Room Setup calculation determines the required space (in square meters) needed to accommodate a certain number of people based on the selected room layout style. Different layouts require different amounts of space per person.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the meeting room setup formula:

Where:

• \( Capacity \) — Number of people to accommodate
• \( Layout\_factor \) — Space factor based on room setup style

Explanation: The equation calculates the minimum room size needed by dividing the number of attendees by a factor that represents the space required per person for different room setups.

3. Importance of Proper Room Setup

Details: Proper room setup ensures comfort, safety, and functionality for meetings and events. Underestimating space can lead to overcrowding, while overestimating can waste resources.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of attendees and select the appropriate layout style. The calculator will determine the minimum required space in square meters.
