Updated October 2017
Initially developed for the UK HE Space Management Project, the AUDE toolkit was further developed through the AUDE Space Management Development project in line with the national agenda promoting financial and economic sustainability. The project was supported by HEFCE, SFA, HEFCW, DELNI with advice from London Economics and Kilner Planning.
The new toolkit contains:
- A Model of Estate Costs (MEC) and user guide. Predicted annualised costs are expressed financially and in terms of national carbon emissions.
- A series of examples of Space Assessment Models (SAMs) and user guide.
