Description
Calculate netOccupied=occupiedDays+turnoverDays-overlapDays and occupancy=netOccupied/availableDays.
A farm or garden budget depends on a common area, quantity, observation period, and system boundary. Recovery, exclusions, overlap, and allocation change how a share is calculated. Supplied accounting or geometry terms remain separate from measured crop performance and verified environmental outcomes.
Calculate netOccupied=occupiedDays+turnoverDays-overlapDays and occupancy=netOccupied/availableDays.
When to use this tool
Use Rooftop Growing Season Occupancy Day Term when you need a clearly bounded area, material, resource, energy, or allocation term for supplied garden or farm records.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter availableDays, occupiedDays, turnoverDays, overlapDays. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read netOccupied, occupancy. Use the output convention below.
Calculate netOccupied=occupiedDays+turnoverDays-overlapDays and occupancy=netOccupied/availableDays. Require positive integer available days, nonnegative counts, feasible overlap, and union within availability.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| occupiedDays | Occupied Days | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| turnoverDays | Turnover Days | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| overlapDays | Overlap Days | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| netOccupied | Net Occupied | Required. Safe integer. |
| occupancy | Occupancy | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The overlap is supplied rather than recovered from a calendar. Occupancy includes turnover and does not infer crop growth, yield, season suitability, or roof access permissions.
- The field tables state structural bounds; the mechanics also specify cross-field constraints. Malformed inputs and unsupported domains cause errors. A successful false flag, empty branch value, or zero placeholder has the meaning stated above and is distinct from an input error.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Verify the system boundary, units, and source records before combining this term into a resource or environmental report. Physical design and crop-performance questions require appropriate measurements and a broader model.
