FACET 2: Statutory Compliance Audit (inc. Fire) – Fire, health and safety are assessed on the property’s compliance to statutory legislation.
FACET 3: Space Utilisation Audit – Space Utilisation is assessed on a series of judgements made on the intensity of use i.e. the number of people using it and the frequency with which they use it.
FACET 4: Functional Suitability Review – Functional suitability is assessed on three elements; internal space relationships, support facilities and location.
FACET 5: Quality Audit – Quality is assessed on three elements; amenity, comfort and design.
FACET 6: Environmental Management Audit – Environmental management is assessed on the overall efficiency of the property, with energy being a critical factor.
