Abstract
A method for balancing space utilization in a building. The method includes identifying a first space and a second space of a building; determining, for a plurality of individuals assigned to the first space, (i) first differences between first preferences of the plurality of individuals for a first characteristic of the second space and a first value of the first characteristic, and (ii) second differences between second preferences of the plurality of individuals for a second characteristic of the second space and a second value of the second characteristic; determining a subset of individuals to move from the first space to the second space based on a combination of the first differences and the second differences; and implementing a reassignment of the subset of individuals to the second space or generating, by the one or more processors, a recommendation to reassign the subset of individuals to the second space.
