Technical FAQs 4

What is floor area ratio?

Floor Area Ratio, commonly known as FAR, is a primary planning metric in urbanism. It is commonly known as the ratio of accumulated built floor areas against the size of a site/plot. In recent years, China's rapid urban development has resulted in a substantial increase in FAR, particularly in residential areas.

How much CO2 is produced by building and construction sectors?

The energy-related CO2 emissions produced by the building and construction sectors amount to 37% . At the same time, the final energy demand for the building stock continues to rise as actions to increase energy efficiency have failed to compensate for the increasing floor area .

Should the LDEs cap and floorregime introduce a gross margin sharing factor?

For this reason, we believe that the LDES cap and floorregime should introduce a gross margin sharing factor above the cap and below the floor, so that the cap and floor are both “soft”. There are various ways in which a soft floor could be implemented.

How much space do you need per household?

Depending on the technology and the household consumption, the current requirement per household would thus be between 0.09–12.5 m2, with the potential to decrease to about 0.08–3.2 m2 in the future. These are ‘battery only’ physical spaces, so access and servicing need consideration too.
