A waste of space
McConnell, T.
A waste of space - 2001 - Property Week 66(29) 20 July 2001, 66-67(2) .
A report by developer Stanhope, and part-funded by the British Council of Offices, reveals that developers are over-specifying buildings, resulting in higher costs for themselves and occupiers.The research argues for more appropriateness in buildings. Standard practice dictates for small power provision at 25W/sq m and occupational densities at 5 sq/mperson. The report shows across a variety of occupier sectors, including retail, insurance and corporate, that 15W/sq m would provide enough small power and designing for densities of up to 14 sq m/person is sufficient for use and provision of facilities.
