Nieuwe Dokken Gent

Project description

The Nieuwe Dokken is a real estate development with around 400 new apartments and houses, along with offices, various commercial outlets (brasseries, shops...) and the necessary parking facilities. These functions are framed by a green environment of neighbourhood parks, promenades etc.

Sustainability is the central concept for this site, as monitored and tested against the city of Ghent's sustainability meter. The design and construction team set its sights high. Ingenium joined the design team as a consultant on sustainability and for designing the technical installations. Our tasks included comfort and energy simulations, EPB (Energy Performance of Buildings) reporting, BREEAM certification, sustainability reporting, designing the entire technical equipment, and commissioning. Ingenium also supported the DUCOOP sustainable energy cooperative in installing the low-temperature heating network across the entire Nieuwe Dokken site. Ingenium assessed the integral heating chain, from its impact on comfort and technical choices inside the residential units, to heat distribution, production and storage.
