Meeting room utilization deep dive gives you a clear picture of how heavily your meeting rooms are used. You can spot wasted capacity, compare floors, and build a case for adjusting your room setup. Find it under Insights, then Deep Dives, then Meeting room utilization in Mapiq Admin.
Meeting room booking rate
The chart at the top shows booking or occupancy rates across your selected date range. Each bar is one day, week, or month. A dark bar shows the average rate; a red marker shows the peak. Use the Days and Weeks toggle in the top right to change the grouping.
Your performance explained
Below the main chart, three figures give you a quick summary.
Meeting rooms included in this report— the total meeting rooms in scope, how many have booking data, and how many match your filters.Low availability (hours per week)— the average hours per week when the booking rate went above your upper limit. Finding a meeting room was hard during these hours.High availability (hours per week)— the average hours per week when the booking rate dropped below your lower limit. It is not difficult to find an empty meeting room at these times.
By weekday
This bar chart shows the average utilization rate for each day of the week, from Monday to Sunday, across the full selected period. Three values are shown per day: average (dark purple bar), average peak (pink marker), and peak (red marker).
Look for days where the average and peak are far apart. A wide gap means that day has short intense spikes, not a steady load. This often points to back-to-back bookings or recurring events. Use it to set policies like meeting-free mornings or caps on recurring bookings for the days that spike most.
By hour
This line chart shows how room usage builds and falls across the working day. Two lines run across the chart: one for average use per hour and one for peak use per hour. The x-axis covers your set office hours. The chart is averaged across all days in the period, so it shows your typical daily shape.
Look at where the two lines diverge. A large gap means certain days push one hour well above the norm. If both lines peak at the same hour, demand is real and focused there. Use this view to adjust booking windows, add a lead time, or spread meetings more evenly.
By floor
This table lists every floor with three data points: room count, a bar showing utilization rate with average and peak markers, and a coverage column. The coverage column shows how many rooms on that floor have data versus the total.
Use it to compare load across floors. High utilization with full coverage means a floor is genuinely busy. High utilization with low coverage may just mean most rooms on that floor have no data. The coverage column is your quality check. Use the floor view to decide where to add bookable rooms and where to cut them.
Note: A floor rate is based on that floor's tracked rooms only. Do not compare it directly to the building-wide rate.
Meeting room popularity
This section shows two lists side by side: most popular rooms and least popular rooms. Each entry shows the room name, floor, seat count, and a utilization bar. The most popular list flags rooms that are always in demand and may be causing a bottleneck. The least popular list flags rooms that are rarely booked and may be worth removing or repurposing.
Use the least popular list before making any room changes. Low utilization on a well-covered floor is a real signal to act. Low utilization due to missing data is a coverage gap, not a reason to remove a room.
By size
This bar chart groups your rooms by seat count into these buckets: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8–9, 10–11, and 12–13 seats. Each bucket shows an average bar, an average peak marker, and a peak marker.
Use it to find where demand does not match supply by room size. If your 4-seat rooms run at a high rate while your 10-seat rooms sit empty, your room mix does not match how teams book. That is the evidence you need to propose splitting larger rooms, adding smaller ones, or updating capacity labels on rooms that are booked well below their stated size.
By type (equipment or activities)
This bar chart groups rooms by the activity or equipment tags set in Mapiq. Each type gets the same three data series as the other charts. The Activities tab groups by use type: Informal meeting, Formal meeting, Brainstorm, Videoconference, Private call, Collaboration, Presentation, Conversation, and One to one. The Equipment tab groups by hardware setup.
Use it to see which room types your teams value most. A type with high utilization is worth investing in. A type with low utilization may be over-represented in the building, or its tags may not match how employees search for rooms. Check both tabs. High demand for the Videoconference type combined with low supply is a clear signal to equip more rooms with AV gear.
Behind the scenes
Calendar rooms only — In calendar mode, only rooms with a valid Exchange or Microsoft 365 mailbox and a bookable status are included. Rooms without a calendar account are excluded from the data.
Utilization is room-based, not seat-based — An 80% rate means 80% of rooms were in use, not 80% of seats. A large room booked by two people counts the same as a small room at full capacity. See the Seat Utilization report for seat-level data.
Sensors and calendar are separate tracked sets — Switching the data source changes which rooms are tracked and how use is measured. The two rates are not directly comparable.
Overlapping bookings are merged — If the same room has two overlapping bookings, they are joined into one window to avoid double-counting. Some detail is lost as a result.
Floor filter changes the denominator — Filtering by floor recalculates the rate for that floor's rooms only. A floor rate and the building-wide rate are not directly comparable.
