Low energy and level of requirement : The example of flexibility in space planning
Through the example of space flexibility, this paper explores the connection between choices made by real estate developers and the feasibility of low energy buildings. It shows that high requirement levels lead to architectural and technical consequences that make low energy architecture more difficult or more expensive. This study concludes on a vision of the buildings’ design process, where architecture is seen as the creation of a potential for low energy achievements. The balance of forces between investment capacities and requirements levels turns this potential into low, medium or high energy buildings.
