Hi again @Lee and @reef-building
Trying to finalise this so that I can put it out to the group…
There is a little problem though, which is mainly that the calculator gives minimum appartment surfaces that are smaller than the standard/minimum surfaces advised by the architects (see this post). I’ve made a little table that summarizes the differences here. I don’t really understand why there is such a difference… And the weird thing is that even using the standard room size that they suggest, it’s still smaller than what they said was the standard for social housing.
What I’ve done to deal with it for now:
- I think it makes sense to leave the minimum surfaces so that people don"t go below that for a specific room
- But overall we probably have to go with the advise from the architects for the appartment size, so I’ve made a reference to the post on calculating appartment size in the table (but overall I feel it is now rather confusing…)
I’m really not sure I’m thinking clearly about this anymore, so my questions to you:
- Can you please have a look at the relevant posts and excel tables, and tell me if you catch something that looks wrong or something that could be done better.
- I don"t know whether we want to do something about the fact that the different numbers don’t match, and check the numbers with them again ? (the calculator is derived from a document that they had shared with us, so you would expect it would match what they said in terms of overall appartment size)
Let me know what you think!
