Demonstration Buildings
Within the framework of Task 23 several demonstration
projects have been developed. The objective of the
demonstration buildings was to put the methods and tools
developed within the Task into practice. All buildings were
designed through an integrated design process, though not in
each project all Task 23 methods and tools have been
applied.
The following is a list of the demonstration buildings:
Canada: Mayo School, Mayo, Yukon
The integrated design process stimulates to go
further than standard solutions. |
 |
Denmark: Community Centre, Kolding
The client considered that the resulting good indoor
climate and reduced energy operational cost were a
direct result of using the IDP process. |
 |
Germany: Office building Deutsche Post, Bonn
This prestigious, forty-three story building
provides a supportive working environment,
individual control and operable windows, which could
only be realised by an integrated design process.
|
 |
Netherlands: Office building Rabobank, Zierikzee
The design team focused on minimising the
HVAC-system by an adequately designed building
envelope. This resulted in a design with an
estimated reduction of energy consumption of about
30%. |
 |
Netherlands:
Brigade staff building Royal Dutch Army, Oirschot
An inspiring actor appeared to be crucial for the
design process |

A description of the building design, the design process
and the experiences of the design team are presented in the
publication
The
Integrated Design Process in Practice. |
