Abstract
REAL ESTATE IS AN IMPORTANT EMITTER OF GREENHOUSE GASES AND A SECTOR WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. FURTHERMORE, THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR IS A BULK CONSUMER OF ENERGY AND THEREFORE AN IMPORTANT SECTOR IF THE NETHERLANDS WANTS TO REACH ITS CLIMATE AGREEMENT GOALS. HOWEVER, THE AMOUNT OF LOW-ENERGY REAL ESTATE IN THE SECTOR REMAINS SMALL. THIS RESEARCH AIMS TO INCREASE THIS NUMBER BY UNDERSTANDING AND INFLUENCING STAKEHOLDER MOTIVATION.
MOTIVATION CAN BE HARNESSED BY REINFORCING THE COMMUNITY FORCE AND STIMULATING THE CONSUMER FORCE. THIS CAN BE DONE BY FRAMING SUSTAINABILITY AS CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND THEREBY HEALTH. THIS MEANS THAT SUSTAINABILITY BECOMES PART OF THE CORE BUSINESS OF HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS. FURTHERMORE, A HEALTHY BUILDING OFFERS VISIBLE PROFILING OPPORTUNITIES THAT APPEAL TO EMPLOYEES, CLIENTS AND INVESTORS. THIS GIVES PRIORITY TO SUSTAINABILITY AND THEREBY INCREASES THE MOTIVATION TO WORK ON SUSTAINABLE AIMS. MONETIZING THESE ADVANTAGES BY INCLUDING THE BENEFITS OF A HEALING ENVIRONMENT IN AN INTEGRAL BUSINESS CASE MEANS THAT THE SUSTAINABLE CHOICE IS ALSO FINANCIALLY THE MOST ATTRACTIVE CHOICE.
IN THIS WAY, THE MOTIVATION OF DUTCH HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS TO MAKE THEIR REAL ESTATE MORE SUSTAINABLE CAN BE ENHANCED AND THE NUMBER OF SUSTAINABLE HEALTHCARE BUILDINGS CAN BE INCREASED.
