Answer: Periodic occupancies also occur less extensively than on a year-round basis. They differ from seasonal occupancies, however, by occurring more intermittently, or repeatedly from time to time during the calendar year. An office building that is closed during weekends and open during weekdays throughout the year is not a periodic occupancy. Purchase codes Wisconsin Administrative Codes.
