Drivers for implementation are important to achieve this. Interviews were conducted with different actors within a city district development project find drivers in These connected phases building see when they have highest potential impact. Connecting various construction process has not been explored before. conclusion, most impact during Planning Program phase and Project phase. The mentioned Cost reduction lowered energy use, More knowledge industry both stated by ten 18 respondents, Long-term perspective at client, National requirements client demands eight respondents. prominent driver seems economic gains, LCC calculations showing gains therefore very tool. Education subsequent certification on working techniques can would also combat lack business. In-house Client three great drivers. Clients projects should aim good in-house knowledge, long-term able set right drive technologies.
