On VisualForce calendars, you can customize how the calendar dimensions (i.e. staff or resources) are filtered. You can create visible filters which can be adjusted by users on the calendar. You can also create hidden filters which are not visible to your users and therefore always apply.

Add your custom checkbox, checkbox formula or lookup fields to each specific calendar's filter

Defining a filter for a lookup

You can define a filter that checks for a value in a lookup field on the displayed dimensions. Say you have an organization with multiple buildings, and you only want to show one building at a time. You can do this by creating a lookup filter on the resource ‘Parent’ field.
