11. Space utilisation & reporting
eliminate all differences in the space and cost norms for universities and technikons and to determine only one set of norms for higher education
the introduction of space reporting within the HEMIS information system according to an amended space classification and coding system from 2007 onwards

12. The inventory should include buildings that are under the
jurisdiction or control of the VUT’s council, regardless of
their location. Where the institution occupies space in
buildings not owned by the institution or that is shared with
other tenants, include in the inventory that portion of the
building leased or controlled by the institution.
Institutions should include all structures that meet the
following criteria:
They are attached to a foundation.
They are roofed.
They require significant maintenance and repair activities as determined by the institution.
They are serviced by at least two utilities i.e. ICT services, electrical services, gas services, normal or special plumbing services, temperature control services, ventilating services, or water services.

13. Basis for measurement:
Space and cost norms will be based on:
FTE student enrolments
ASM classroom facilities’ space per FTE enrolled student of a particular CESM category and aggregate of course levels
Annual utilisation hours per Classroom

14. Measurement continued …….
Space utilisation will depend on:
number of hours per year that a classroom can reasonably be scheduled
percentage of seats that are occupied during scheduled classroom use.
Eg. A classroom with a utilisation value of 600 will be considered as optimally used based on the following calculation:

15. Measurement continued …….
Example:
In order to obtain an utilisation value (U) where
U = 600 hours per station - it could be assumed
that, of 1200 class hours per annum (30 weeks
per year times 40 hours per week), each seat is
occupied for 50% of the time.

16. Space Actual space usage Generated norm Actual/norm (%)
DoE has prepared norm tables on the usage of space for classrooms, offices, laboratories etc.
Actual usage of our facilities will be measured against the norms as provided by our institutional facilities:
