GOAL – The goal of this research is to examine the possibility of a decision support model concerning intervention strategies of vacant office buildings in Amsterdam. This quick scan results in the best future function and intervention for a specific vacant office building. This DSM is based on the market, the location and the building analyses and involves the users’ or companies’ ambition. The ambitions involved are financial profitability, environmental sustainability and architectural & cultural value. The focus of the existing models is limited to the certain aspects of an intervention strategy. METHODOLOGY – This research consists of a theoretical and imperial study. The theoretical study includes a general part, a literature study, and a study of existing models. The imperial study consists of five case studies and 11 expert interviews. ADDED VALUE – The decision for a certain intervention strategy is based on a number of factors and criteria, unique for each project. This DSM combines involved theory and existing models into one, integrated model. The DSM should give a comprehensive verdict, based on several factors and ambitions, for a possible solution.
