HORIZON-NEB-2025-01-REGEN-03: Sufficiency measures in the built environment

Asker municipality is dedicated to using co-creation, citizen involvement, and user participation in its efforts to making its buildings more efficient and more suitable for shared use.

Decided principles for property in Asker: "Meeting new needs without new areas" by "using existing spaces" to a greater extent.

“Within property management, sustainability can be defined as providing users with good and efficient buildings, with the least possible burden on the economy and the environment. Asker has ambitious climate goals, and to achieve these, good and planned maintenance, and a focus on area efficiency and reuse of buildings will be necessary to reduce the climate footprint to the greatest possible extent.

Case proposal for the call: Asker municipality offers two buildings as alternatives for case study suitable for the call: These are both "existing (vacant and under-utilised) spaces", owned by Asker municipality. And ready to be used for the calls purpose: "2. Test and validate at least two sufficiency measures that optimise, repurpose, or expand the use and functionality of space."

An empty nursing home, and a partially used large residential care centre.
