Global future vision and feasibility study of technical installations VAC Hasselt

The Flemish Government wanted a medium-term future vision for the building installations for the 15-year-old Flemish Administrative Center Hendrik Van Veldeke in Hasselt. The building was then designed with a number of progressive innovative concepts (natural ventilation via chimney effect in the central atrium, adiabatic cooling in combination with natural ventilation, concrete core activation by blowing cool air from the parking garage through the hollow vaults) that, however, could not always guarantee comfort.

Ingenium worked out this future vision in close consultation with het Facilitair Bedrijf and determined the technical, economic and ecological feasibility. Topics covered in the feasibility study:
evaluation of the existing techniques in the field of comfort and energy consumption, additional insulation of the building envelope, flexible and energy-efficient ventilation with great attention to demand control, sustainable heat and cold production (various types of heat pumps, CHP), energy-efficient lighting and smart building aspects. Based on the results of the study, it has already been decided to integrate a CHP installation into the existing boiler room and to convert the hydraulic heating installation from constant to variable flow. The design phase of this is currently underway.
