WHC (Weerdenburg Huisvesting Consultants) Expertise and experience
Weerdenburg Huisvesting Consultants (WHC) is an independent consultant for housing and installations of commercial buildings with a staff of four multidisciplinary and highly educated workers. WHC investigates, develops, advises, trains and designs tools in these areas. WHC is a member of the Dutch technical association for installations in commercial buildings (TVVL). In various commercial companies, national health services and village communities company, energy plans, feasibility studies, energy monitoring projects, brochures on energy saving and motivation campaigns in energy saving have been implemented. WHC tries to influence the behaviour of office users by informing them through periodical energy-bulletins with feedback of measurement results, obtained by the Energy Monitoring System (EMS). These bulletins also give suggestions how to save energy. Through workshops the results are also expressed to the managers / co-ordinators of the various buildings. The differences of the measure results are being investigated so that the building co-ordinator can discuss this with the respective office users. Key persons
