Disclaimer: These calculations are made with the following assumptions:
- People are "point masses" with no depth.
- People are assumed to be standing, not sitting or lying down.
- People will be packed so as to have the "Loose packing of sand grains" rather than a "More compact packing": see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems
- The Additional Spacing Factor should account for circulation needed for the movement of people, etc… The default value of 20% is not a guideline. Choose your own value.
- The program's output area is for people spaced outdoors on level ground with fresh air circulation.
- We use the (3/24/2020) CDC recommendation of 6 feet as the minimum space between people.
- We use half the "Space between people" as the "radius" around each person in the Output calculations.
- The guidelines provided do not consider additional spacing needed in an internal room. For example, the following are not considered:
- The impact of the room dimensions and shape on the area required.
- Interior room obstacles or layout, such as chairs and furniture.
- Requirements for non-obstructed entrance and exits (and paths), etc.
- Fire safety laws and guidelines.
