Abstract
Offices consume a lot of energy in the Netherland. In addition to the low energy efficiency, the office environment, and working style cause health problems. This research focuses on the farming-integrate office system and the flows in it, involving food, air, water, electricity, and heat. Taking Marineterrein as the site and use environmental database of Amsterdam, this paper proposed a suitable farming integrated office in Marineterrein and could act as a guideline for other offices to integrate farming in other cities.
