The aim of this collaboration was to harness the potential of existing spaces and establish <strong>modern work structures<\/strong> that meet today\u2019s demands for flexibility and efficiency. By <strong>strategically eliminating vacancies<\/strong> and introducing new occupancy plans, numerous workstations from various buildings were centralized, creating <strong>space for innovative projects such as the \u201cNew Workspaces\u201d pilot project<\/strong>. More information about this project and the results achieved can be found on our <a href=\"https:\/\/recotech.de\/case-studies\/stadtwerke-duesseldorf-neue-freiflaechen-und-new-work-strukturen\/\">ReCoTech case study page for D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Initial Situation and Challenges at D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities<\/h2>\n<p>D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities faced scattered <strong>vacancies<\/strong> across their various office buildings, leading to inefficient space usage and considerable costs. The project aimed to resolve these fragmented vacancies, <strong>centralize workstations in a single building<\/strong>, and <strong>create areas for the \u201cNew Workspaces\u201d project<\/strong>. D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities sought to make these changes with minimal disruption to operations.<\/p>\n<p>The project also introduced <strong>flexible occupancy plans<\/strong> that allow for modern workplace concepts suited to the needs of a dynamic organization. You can read a full description of the project steps and objectives on the <a href=\"https:\/\/recotech.de\/case-studies\/stadtwerke-duesseldorf-neue-freiflaechen-und-new-work-strukturen\/\">ReCoTech page for the D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities case study<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Analysis and Development of a New Occupancy Plan<\/h2>\n<p>The first project phase included a thorough <strong>assessment<\/strong> of existing office spaces and their occupancy rates. With digital tools, all spaces were documented and analyzed, forming the basis for the new occupancy plan. Based on this analysis, ReCoTech created a tailored <strong>space standard<\/strong>: offices of <strong>16 square meters<\/strong> were designated as two-person offices, and those of <strong>21 square meters<\/strong> were set for three-person occupancy. This approach maximized existing space without requiring major renovations. You can read more about the planning and analysis phase on the <a href=\"https:\/\/recotech.de\/case-studies\/stadtwerke-duesseldorf-neue-freiflaechen-und-new-work-strukturen\/\">ReCoTech case study page for D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Supporting Measures for a Flexible Workplace<\/h2>\n<p>To support the new space structure, ReCoTech implemented various additional measures to enhance space efficiency and flexibility. A primary measure was the implementation of a <strong>\u201cClean Desk\u201d policy<\/strong>: to optimize space, less frequently used work areas were occupied only when the entire team was present. Additionally, <strong>file storage in offices was reduced<\/strong>, freeing up space for desks and work areas.<\/p>\n<p>These measures facilitated flexible workplace models and significantly contributed to the success of the <strong>\u201cNew Workspaces\u201d pilot project<\/strong>. The Clean Desk strategy and the reduction of storage areas not only improved spatial efficiency but also promoted a tidy, organized work environment. A detailed overview of the supporting measures and their impact on D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities can also be found in our <a href=\"https:\/\/recotech.de\/case-studies\/stadtwerke-duesseldorf-neue-freiflaechen-und-new-work-strukturen\/\">D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities case study<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Results: Savings and Released Space<\/h2>\n<p>The office space optimization yielded impressive results: approximately <strong>1,000 square meters<\/strong> were freed up for <strong>internal projects and the \u201cNew Workspaces\u201d pilot project<\/strong>, which promotes innovative workplace concepts and a creative, open work culture. The space reorganization also resulted in <strong>annual savings of around 110,000 euros<\/strong>, making the project a success both economically and structurally.<\/p>\n<p>The measures implemented by ReCoTech for D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities demonstrate how <strong>systematic and future-oriented office space optimization<\/strong> can save both space and costs while fostering new workplace models and flexibility for employees.

With targeted analysis and flexible occupancy strategies, space usage is minimized, and a work environment that meets modern requirements is created. The collaboration between ReCoTech and D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities exemplifies how sustainable space planning and modern workspace design create long-term value and help organizations prepare for future challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Further details and insights can be found in our <a href=\"https:\/\/recotech.de\/case-studies\/stadtwerke-duesseldorf-neue-freiflaechen-und-new-work-strukturen\/\">comprehensive D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities case study<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D\u00fcsseldorf Utilities, in partnership with ReCoTech, embarked on a comprehensive project to optimize their office space.
