Urban Concept
Hut Harven is close to the centre of Amsterdam, where there used to be a port and a timber yard. There are many lumber factories and related companies.
After many years of industrial activity, House Harven has become a residential area (bedroom town).
A total of 7 islands are under development, and there is enough land to house 2200 houses, 70 houseboats, and 50,000 square meters of facilities (* Examples) at the same time.
In the "NEXT-BUILDINGS" project, 30,000 square meters (* Examples) of ZEB were built in an area called "Blok0". What makes "Blok0" special is that a community of people with a view to the lives of the people of the future leads development projects in the area. About 250 houses can still be built, and 700 square meters of the other buildings are used as studios and studios. One collective parking lot has already been completed and several other smaller parking lots are available.
The construction of the "Blok0" was completed by April 2016, and by June of that year, almost all of the "Blok0" had residents. And some of these blocks are designed to be climate-neutral
It is also a "Brede School" (Dutch for large school), which is a very good example of linking to education. The school has a high-performance solar power system on its roof, and monitoring devices have been introduced to enable it to obtain usable energy data from the neighborhood. These efforts are based on smart meters and web-based data collection.
Inhuluence
"Blok0" consists of 9 buildings standing on 25000 square meters of land.
The buildings are powered by solar power and district heating.
According to the plan, energy demand in and around the final building can be reduced to 1778 MWh/year, primary energy demand can be reduced by 2844 MWh/year, and carbon dioxide can be reduced by 611 tons/year. The integrated solar PV system generates 270 MWh/year of energy, which translates into a payback in 7 years.
The "Brede School" covers 6000 square meters and consists of solar power generation systems and district heating and cooling. According to the plan, the ultimate goal is to reduce energy demand to 450 MWh/year, while primary energy demand can be reduced by 612 MWh/year and CO2 emissions can be reduced by 53 tons/year.
The integrated solar PV system can generate 113 MWh/year of energy, which translates into a payback in 7 years.
