Description

Implications of ‘As a Service’ in buildings to value

Research project 4b(DC 2)

works on the subject ‘Implications of ‘As a Service’ in buildings to value’.
In the CE, business models drive future building use potential. One unexplored aspect is the product service system direction. In a very infant stage, some initiatives have been developed that focus on a building as a service. The product service systems approach enables more accountability on the building operation, including e.g. CO2 emissions, because specific services (like elevators, heat systems, or lighting) could be owned and accounted for by service providers. In this context the question arises: what are the implications for the value of the building? This project will explore the implications of product service system applications in buildings on the value of that building.
