High nitrogen concentrations reduce the air quality in the Netherlands and nitrogen deposition acidifies the soil. This is especially a problem in nature areas. The construction sector is causing an increase in harmful concentrations. Therefore, low-nitrogen construction will almost certainly become the norm in the future.
This requires architects to design differently. Aspects such as construction methodology, use of materials, transport and energy consumption are balanced in a 'low-nitrogen design'. And good cooperation between the client, contractor, developer and architect becomes even more important.
