Short
project description / project function
|
The
Water Board Rijnland in the Netherlands needed a new head office. In this
office there is room for 360 people and the building is designed for:
optimization of the working climate, sustainable building and low energy
consumption.
Total area of working space of the building 12'000 m2. There is
also a separate plumbing for toilet water and storage of cold and warm water
in the subsoil. http://www.rijnland.net.
On another site full details can be found (in Dutch language) about energy, waste disposal,
materials which have been used: http://www.dubocentrum.nl/projecten/project.php?reclD=31&item=samenvatting

Summary
of experiences
|
People
who work in the building are quite pleased with it. 70 % of the working time
people can work in daylight which saves energy. Light from outside and the
light of the electric lamps are reflected to get a equal distribution of the
light in the rooms; workers are becoming less tired.

Project
benefits
|
Lower
energy consumption, less water consumption and the building can be easily
taken apart and the individual construction parts can be easily reused. Per
year 200 tons of CO2 are saved by the innovative energy system which is also cost
effective (50'000 Euro savings on energy costs).
An
energy storage was built using the underground (60 m deep pipes) of the
building site Water
use in toilet is 15 liter per person, which amounts to saving about 1.4
milion liters of drinking water per
year, due to the use of rainwater or surface water.
