ADB 2022 – dataset 

ADB2022 Dataset is now the default dataset.

This updated dataset incorporates the ADB2020 dataset together with HBN 00-03 and the isolation and bariatric exemplars.

ADB 20 – dataset

Following a number of recent queries from clients undertaking refurbishment projects and revisiting historic schemes, we wondered if it may help to make available the comprehensive ADB 20 dataset with 380 Departments/Schedules of Accommodation utilising 1550 Exemplar Rooms.

Whilst many spaces have been superseded there is such a vast variety of spaces that some of you may find it of help during these projects.

Please be advised that ADB 20 was released in 2005 and is in the old engineering format, use at your own discretion.
