In the Buitenhof area in Delft, a new energy efficient sports hall is built as well as 88 student premises. The building is connected to the district heating and possesses individual meters. The new sports hall is about 78% more energy efficient than the old one.
The Buitenhof area was originally built in the 1960s-1970s and was highly energy consuming. A contest was organised and teams of project developers were to take into account the Delft Climate Plan within their proposals for a complete redevelopment of this area. The assets of the total development finance the new sports facilities.
Create an energy efficient building that fulfils the ambitions of the Delft Climate Plan and is connected to district heating.
The new sports hall consumes about 78% less energy than the old sports facilities. The energy use is 11% less than national regulations in the sports facilities and 23% less for the student premises. The energy performance is 13% better than 2009 Dutch building regulations.
In the next phases of the redevelopment of the Buitenhof area, the targets of the Delft Climate Plan will be taken into account. The whole area will be connected to the district heating system.
A contest for (re)development is a good instrument and phase to introduce energy and climate goals in big projects.
