German term

Niedrigbauweise

German to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology
In Freiburg müssen neue Wohngebäude in der ***Niedrigbauweise*** errichtet werden. Aber auch in anderen deutschen Städten baut man bereits neue Häuser mit dieser klimafreundlichen Bauweise. Allerdings gibt es einen Nachteil. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dass es für Familien, die bauen wollen, zu teuer ist und dass sie es daher vorziehen, nicht mehr in Freiburg zu bauen.
Proposed translations (English)
3 +6 low energy construction (standard)
3 -2 Low-height construction

low energy construction (standard)

It's not about "low height" but about energy consumption, a short form of Niedrigenergiebauweise:

agree Steffen Walter : Strictly speaking, "Niedrigbauweise" is an incorrect (and misleading) short form in this context - "Niedrigenergiebauweise" should always be used.

thank you, Steffen. Yes, the german term is as wrong as "low construction" would be

disagree Steffen Walter : No. Context clearly tells us that this is about "Niedrigenergiebauweise" (low energy consumption/high energy efficiency of buildings).
