Introduction to Floor Area Calculation<\/span><\/h2>\n

In France, the floor area (\u00a0<\/span>SDP<\/span><\/a>\u00a0) is a standardized\u00a0<\/span>unit\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0used for the calculation of building areas.\u00a0<\/span>This concept\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>of measurement\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0was fixed by the ordinance n\u00b0 2011-1539 of November 16, 2011 which defines the floor surfaces taken into account within the framework of the law 2011-2054 of December 29, 2011. The implementation of this definition began on March 1, 2012, and applies to the issuance of building permits and other planning permissions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Determination of floor area and promotion of energy efficiency<\/span><\/h2>\n

To determine the floor area of \u200b\u200ba construction, specific measurements must be taken.\u00a0This includes the calculation of the surfaces of each level, closed and covered, from the interior side of the facades.\u00a0In addition, certain surface deductions provided for in Article R. 112-2 of the Ordinance must be taken into account.<\/span><\/p>\n

The purpose of this revised floor area definition is to encourage the construction of low-energy buildings.\u00a0It also aims to standardize the application of the Low Consumption Building (BBC) label, which should become compulsory.\u00a0Previously, the old method of determining area posed challenges for achieving energy-efficient buildings, as it did not support low-energy goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

By introducing the calculation of floor area and incorporating area deductions, the new definition aligns with the goal of promoting energy efficiency in the construction industry.\u00a0It ensures that the measurement of building surfaces corresponds to the principles and requirements of energy-efficient design.\u00a0This development facilitates the generalization of the BBC label and encourages the construction of environmentally friendly buildings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The introduction of floor area calculation in France provided a standardized unit for measuring building areas.\u00a0This definition, set by an order in 2011, aims to support the construction of energy-efficient buildings and to facilitate the implementation of the future mandatory Low Consumption Building (BBC) label.\u00a0By accurately determining floor space, taking into account specific deductions, the construction industry is encouraged to adopt low energy principles and promote sustainable building practices.\u00a0This new approach to measuring building surfaces is in line with energy efficiency objectives and represents a significant step forward in the construction sector.<\/span><\/p>\n
