Seven questions to ask when you start a project: 1. Futureproofing and the master plan: What are the current requirements - and what will happen in the next ten years? For example, Is the location right, and is it possible to expand or rebuild? 2. Technology: What technical systems will the building contain? How do you ensure the best flow? 3. Working and access conditions: How do you create optimal working space and safe access conditions for employees and visitors? 4. Sustainability: What requirements do you have - for example, should it be possible to dismantle or repurpose the building entirely or partly? 5. Relations: What facilities are required concerning visitors? How can the project enable your local anchoring and support? 6.

The new agenda provides district heating utilities with a com- pletely new approach to new projects. Stricter requirements for heat production, sustainability, working conditions, and openness do not only affect the technical constraints and the technical disciplines. When you, as a developer, want to future- proof a new facility on all parameters, it challenges the entire master plan. Therefore, it is necessary to gather several dedi- cated parties around the table: Engineers, architects - and, not least, a client with a 360 degrees approach who likes to chal- lenge their advisers.
