Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

3.1.3 Reading material: Adaptive Reuse Drivers and Challenges

Course subject(s) 3. Adaptive Reuse Management

Reading material 3.1

As an addition to the video lecture, we have a paper for you to read. In the paper a management tool is introduced that you can use to perform a quick scan for the adaptation potential of a vacant office building. This tool has been developed by the TU Delft and is called the Conversion Meter. The paper starts with a short chapter that provides additional information to the video lecture Why adaptive reuse? Then the Conversion meter is presented, and how it works.

You can download the paper by clicking the title below. Focus on studying the pages 1-12 (until step 4) in the following document.
