SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION HANDBOOK 2 Figure 13. Computer rendering of the exterior of the secondary school in Veenendaal; the first pilot project contracted according to the Living Building Concept Figure 14. Computer rendering of the interior of the secondary school in Veenendaal Financial and contractual aspects There is little doubt about the feasibility of the concept from a technical/technological viewpoint. But the contractual and financial aspects appeared to be less easy to implement. The provider also offered the client a financial solution, in the sense that the provider remained owner of the physical building 206
HANDBOOK 2 SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION and the client pays for the performance of the building and related services; fully in line with the concept that is outlined in this paper. This appeared to be ‘a bridge too far’ for the client. In the Netherlands, schools fall under the responsibility of local governments. They reserve separate budgets for school building, operation and maintenance, and this was the case with this school. Also, the idea that a school building would be legally owned by a private (commercial) party felt risky. A factor that may have contributed to this perception was the bankruptcy of the former contractor. Hence, the building, once ready, will be owned and operated by the local government. The consequence of this decision was that the initial costs had to be kept within the available (tight) budget, and that the provider cannot be rewarded for the offering of added value such as discussed in this paper. The provider, for instance, planned to install solar panels on the roof of the building, so that the school could become energy neutral. But this feature had to be dropped in order to stay within budget. Another complication was that, due to ownership by the local government, the normal accounting rules used by this body applied. Consequently, the building as a whole will be written off in a period of 40 years, just as other similar public buildings. Although the users are happy with the new adaptable building, the specific advantages of the concept could not be made explicit. Hence, it can be concluded that the new concept requires a drastic change in thinking by the clients. Nonetheless, the provider, Matrix, has become very enthusiastic and plans to offer future clients the full package. It sees that clients need to be better informed about the concept, so that all parties will eventually reap the benefits. More work is also needed to express the added value through a leasing construction that includes a new form of financing and insurance.
