Use Cases

Not just delivering results. Our solutions in action

Hazemeijer Complex – Hengelo, The Netherlands

Deep renovation strategies of heritage buildings

A historic industrial site will function as a living lab for INBLANC’s heritage renovation strategies.

  • Transform a heritage‑listed 1907 manufacturing site ‑ preserving its architectural identity and improving its energy performance ‑ into a mixed‑use complex containing workspaces, shops, event halls, and residential units.

  • Retaining original façades and towers while integrating 75 new residential units.

    Optimising indoor occupant comfort and maximising energy‑efficiency.

    Enabling smarter, data‑driven decision‑making throughout and beyond the renovation process.

Joven Futura Neighbourhood – Murcia, Spain

Smarter living
at scale

Joven Futura neighbourhood will become a testbed for improving energy efficiency, reducing costs, and guiding renovation investments without compromising well‑being in a residential community of over 3.000 people.

  • The use‑case will address 1232 nearly identical apartments built between 2008–2012 that were not designed with modern energy and sustainability standards in mind.

  • Implementing site‑wide energy efficiency and flexibility improvements.

    Optimising indoor environmental quality with minimal monitoring infrastructure.

    Informing data‑driven decision‑making on renovation and renewable energy investments.

    Maximising the long‑term value of resident‑owned properties.

Municipality of Thessaloniki – Thessaloniki, Greece

Greener public buildings

Municipality of Thessaloniki will take bold steps to optimise energy and environmental performance across a diverse portfolio of public buildings by using digital tools and data‑driven renovation planning.

  • With over 300 public buildings, limited green space, and ambitious renovation targets, they will collect and connect data from multiple sources to define priorities and develop cost‑efficient strategies.

  • Identifying 15% of the worst‑performing buildings and prioritising them for energy upgrades.

    Extracting data from available databases to supplement monitoring where sensor coverage in buildings is limited.

    Establishing a cost‑efficient and smart renovation plan.

City of Aalborg – Denmark

Targeting energy vampire buildings

Aalborg, a frontrunner in sustainability and smart city solutions, will serve as a demo site to improve the energy efficiency of buildings and promote circularity through a data‑driven, city‑scale approach.

  • Support the city in phasing out the bottom 15% of energy‑inefficient buildings while navigating limited data availability and the need for scalable interventions.

  • Identify the city’s worst‑performing buildings using available operational data.

    Develop targeted renovation strategies aligned with citywide goals, limited data availability and targeted interventions.
