EIT Climate-KIC is a European knowledge and innovation community, working towards a prosperous, inclusive, climate-resilient society founded on a circular, zero-carbon economy. Their mandate was to develop a methodology for designing and planning an office fit-out solution that is environmentally friendly, high quality, price competitive and scalable. The answer to the mandate is DURable; a life cycle approach to Office fit-outs that achieves the mentioned objectives. The three lifecycle phases of DURable are the Design phase, Use phase and Relocation phase, the first letter of each phase giving DURable its name. The Design Phase uses data gathered at the interactive workshop which analyzes work patterns, work modes, interactions, mobility and corporate culture both in the current setting as well as the ideal setting. This allows DURable to also support culture and work mode changes within the organization. The strong focus on user integrated design and planning has shown better results in happiness in the workplace, receptiveness to change and environmentally friendly behavior.
