The concept of the fresh school had to be complied with; low energy consumption and a healthy indoor environment with regard to temperature, comfort, light and sound.
A monumental project requires a different approach. “It is fitting and measuring with the installations because there are already fixed parts in the building and high and low spaces. Cabinets had to be hoisted through the roof at an early stage because they simply did not fit through the facades. The concept of the fresh school had to be complied with; low energy consumption and a healthy indoor environment with regard to temperature, comfort, light and sound. Visible technology has been chosen in this building, a silo has been placed on the outside of the building because we have opted for a high-temperature biomass boiler system, solar panels and a heat pump have also been installed”, says Stefan Janssen, director of consultancy Klictet. “Because of the monumental building, we weren't allowed to mill the walls and everything had to be installed neatly. The walls are of course not flat, so we spent a lot of time installing as accurately as possible with neat bends, PEVO van Monfort was the ideal installer for us. They looked carefully at which line to follow in, for example, the lighting and found a system. I can only say that it was a perfect collaboration, the collaboration with Glamox was also great; a good lighting design, which we coordinated with the architect and fit within the framework. It was the first collaboration with Glamox and we are immediately working on the next project”, says Janssen.
