X10 = Value and respect

Value in building renovation and transformation will usually be looked at on the basis of assessment concepts such as the BREEAM eco-certifcation system, Leed and DGNB certifcation, etc., which account for the concept of value on the basis of social, cultural and environmental factors.

With regard to the holistic Universal Design approach, assess how the historic building components can best be (re)used/protected, while also creating value for as many users as possible.

In a renovation project, for example, a new ramp can create both good and bad experiences in a space, either by restricting some people's movement, or by providing access to others.

Use the checklist on the right to get values and respect to interact with accessibility and Universal Design. e Contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

e Checklist for project-relevant user groups

Consider how existing qualities can create value and respect for different users - design, materials, colour and details. Identify barriers in the existing environment and how different users address these. Consider how existing barriers can create new opportunities for relevant users. Consider how a given renovation or transformation can provide better opportunities for all relevant users. Think about signs which do not stand in contrast to the historical architecture but which also give value for all users. Make sure that signage does not become a barrier for people with disabilities.
