B.O.L.D. – Building Optimization for Lasting Development

B.O.L.D. – Building Optimization for Lasting Development

The Netherlands has a vast stock of existing residential buildings that present untapped opportunities for energy-efficient renovations. However, evaluating the renovation potential and assessing the financial viability of these projects is complex. Developers and housing associations face challenges in making data-driven decisions that balance renovation costs, energy efficiency, and long-term value. B.O.L.D. addresses these challenges by providing optimized renovation scenarios, enabling stakeholders to make informed, strategic decisions. Our solutions help assess risks and opportunities, ensuring cost-effective, sustainable renovations that enhance building performance and support long-term investment success.

Veel productieprocessen, zoals verspaning, PCB-productie en spuitgieten, worden grotendeels uitbesteed aan lageloonlanden. Dit leidt tot een afhankelijkheid van externe markten, hogere logistieke kosten en minder controle over productie. Daarnaast stijgen de lonen in Europa, waardoor productie minder rendabel wordt. Door efficiëntere processen en slimmere productiesystemen kunnen we de productiekosten verlagen en lokale maakindustrie concurrerender maken. Bovendien kan dit bijdragen aan een lagere CO₂-uitstoot, doordat productie dichter bij de eindgebruiker plaatsvindt en minder transport nodig is.

We notice that teams in organisations are not harnessing the full potential of collaboration. Things like lack of vision and strategy, team misalignment, trust, defensiveness, and narcissism lead to reduced productivity and growth at best and destructive effects, at worst. Organisations and teams therefore suffer from underperformance and inefficiency, while also having members who are stressed, feeling disconnected, not feeling empowered, unable to be creative, and not feeling safe and included within their teams and organisations. Even if constructive conditions exist, collaborations still face hurdles to reach their full potential. This ultimately has an impact not only on the individuals, teams, and organisations, but on the society as a whole that would bear the costs of having members who are not thriving, happy and fulfilled.

In civil engineering projects, poor communication between clients and contractors often leads to delays, confusion, and even conflicts. A significant part of this issue stems from a lack of understanding of contractual obligations, ambiguity about the project scope, and mismatched expectations between both parties. This disruption in the planning, execution, and delivery stages increases the risk of project failure.
