Energy master plan

Are energy supply limits causing challenges when drawing up plans for your buildings? Together, we develop an energy master plan that provides insight into bottlenecks and offer well-considered solutions, including the area surrounding your building. This enables you to move forward with your plans.

Consultants working on an energy master plan for buildings

Grid congestion is a growing challenge throughout the Netherlands. Although grid operators are taking action, tangible results are not expected until well into the next decade. A comprehensive energy master plan, often with optimisation of existing installations, can help solve your problems now.

Could this be beneficial for you?

You are a property developer, owner or investor. Within your business or governmental organisation, you may be working on expansion or redevelopment plans for buildings, a campus, a business park or area programme. In such situations, it is highly likely that energy supply constraints will get in the way. An energy master plan supports your CO₂ reduction targets on a tactical level and maps out what solutions are available. We broaden the scope beyond the individual building to include the surrounding area. Are there opportunities to enter into group contracts with surrounding building owners, for example? Our energy master plan will answer this as well as other questions too. We design a local energy system and identify future congestion challenges.

Main entrance Laurentius hospital

Tailor-made energy concept for Laurentius Hospital

The Laurentius Hospital in Roermond faced a dual challenge: to improve sustainability while ensuring continuity of care. With rising energy prices, tightened climate targets and the ambition to move towards CO₂ reduction, an integrated approach was necessary.

Together with the hospital, Haskoning developed a future-proof energy master plan. By providing insight into energy consumption, installations and optimisation opportunities, we created a clear roadmap towards 2030. Technical measures, smart optimisations and phased investments help lower energy costs while creating an energy system that is robust and resilient to grid congestion.

The result: demonstrable savings on gas consumption, tighter control of energy performance and a solid foundation to accelerate further sustainability without disrupting primary care processes.

Contents of the energy master plan

What will you find in our energy master plan? It is based on three pillars which we tailor to your specific challenges. Of course, we explicitly include issues such as grid congestion and subsurface congestion. Broadly speaking, the content of an energy master plan is as follows:

  • Insight & analysis: a congestion scan consisting of, among other things, gathering information, identifying constraints within the buildings as well as in the surrounding area, determining the heat, cooling and electricity demand based on consumption data, conducting an on-site inspection, and jointly determining the starting points with you;
  • Analysis & creation: estimating the future energy demand based on future use and sustainability plans, and drafting and discussing energy concepts;
  • Consideration & financial feasibility: working towards a well-balanced energy concept via, among other things, a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Analysis of different variants, a qualitative Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) and a final report.

What does it deliver?

With the energy master plan, we gain a thorough understanding of how your buildings and systems operate, and who is responsible for them. It provides insight and a considered solution for solving your energy issue, within the existing or future situation. It is an integrated, congestion-proof plan involving the buildings and the surrounding area. It offers you long-term energy supply security and optimises the use of available energy sources and existing assets. The energy master plan also creates flexibility for the future.

Why Haskoning?

We are leaders across the full spectrum of sustainability and energy solutions. The combination of expert subject knowledge and solid project management offers exactly what you need. Thanks to projects carried out across the country – both on buildings and for grid operators and energy companies – we have the experience and data needed to solve your challenge. After delivering the concept, we continue to support you in the next phase and help you organise the implementation. This ensures that, in the long term, giving you long-term energy supply security that fits the ambitions of your organisation.
