Diemen is growing fast. More people also means more athletes. The local authority opted for a sustainable renovation and to expand its sports hall.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The task<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As early as the planning stage, it was clear to Diemen local authority that it wasn\u2019t just going to demolish the sports hall and erect a new, bigger one.\nThe solution had to be more sustainable.\nThe local authority decided to renovate the existing sports hall.\nIt also needed a new location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tender focused on these three pillars: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Sustainability <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Circularity <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Social return <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    These pillars applied to both the design and execution of the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Impact of the project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Diemen used a European, non-public tender to identify a suitable contractor. The project has since been completed. The sustainable impact of the project includes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • A fully recyclable sports floor <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Fully recyclable and demountable sandwich panels <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • An EPC of -0.04 <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 85 per cent heat recovery <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      What made this project a success? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      These three factors contributed to the success of this project: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • An intensive preliminary process<\/strong>:
        – Created internal and external support with immediate stakeholders (local authorities and contractors) and external stakeholders (sports teachers)
        – Asked external parties to eliminate blind spots <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • A fixed-price award for design and realisation<\/strong>
          A fixed price allowed the municipality to award based on quality alone.\nSustainability and circularity were factors on which parties were able to distinguish themselves.
          <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Active collaboration with local social workshop<\/strong>
          The social return came into play through active collaboration with social work business Pantar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Tips for a similar project <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Discuss ambitions with the market early on.<\/strong>
            Do not restrict this to the preliminary stage.\nActively engage with the winning party about its sustainable and social ambitions even after contract award.\nBy involving parties early on in the design process, you help to avoid obstacles later in the project.\nConsider the sometimes limited availability of recycled materials. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Look at options for renovation.<\/strong>
              In its planning, the local authority examined both demolition\/new-build and renovation\/new-build.\nThis demonstrated that renovating the old sports hall into an energy-efficient building was a feasibility.\nA truly sustainable solution! <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Involve the people \u2018for whom you are doing it\u2019.<\/strong>
                In this project, Diemen involved sports teachers and associations.\nAs end users, they were well placed to offer insight into what was and was not needed.\nDoing this helps guarantee an optimal end product. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
