TRAJECT

What TRAJECT does

TRAJECT is an independent engineering and consulting firm headquartered in Arnhem, the Netherlands, specialising in integrated sustainability advisory for the built environment. The firm serves property developers, real estate owners, healthcare and education institutions, municipalities, and large corporate occupiers across the Netherlands, advising on sustainability certifications (BREEAM, LEED, WELL), Dutch energy performance compliance (BENG, NTA 8800), indoor health and wellbeing, circularity, ESG/CSRD reporting, and decarbonisation roadmaps such as Paris Proof trajectories. Client rosters include ABN AMRO, PostNL, Shell, VGZ, EY, Radboudumc, TU Delft, Gemeente Veenendaal and the Port of Rotterdam.

The firm's core intellectual property is the proprietary 361° Gezond Gebouw® philosophy, an integrated methodology that addresses six dimensions — management, sustainability, health, exploitation, circularity, and energy & technique — to keep buildings and areas continuously performant for users and owners. Adjacent branded methodologies extend the framework outward and downstream: 361° Gezond Gebied for district-level area development and 361° Gezond Gebruik for healthy, sustainable use-phase of real estate portfolios. Supporting tooling includes parametric analysis (3D simulation models coupled with databases to optimise insulation values, building form, glazing, and ventilation), dynamic energy simulations at room level, the BOEI Gebouwlogboek digital building logbook with portfolio benchmarking dashboards, and the publicly accessible TRAJECT Scan self-assessment tool. Certification advisory spans BREEAM-NL, LEED (including EBOM), and WELL, with the latter backed by Gerrit-Jan Teunissen being the first LEED & WELL and Living Future Accredited Professional in the Netherlands and by TRAJECT's status as a WELL Faculty Member with IWBI.

TRAJECT operates as a B2B professional services firm on project-based engagements, generating revenue through advisory mandates won by direct sales, competitive tenders, industry events (PROVADA, Dutch Green Building Week), and long-term enterprise relationships. Pricing is set per assignment and is not publicly disclosed. As of April 2024 the team numbered approximately 32 professionals. Innovus Smart Engineering Group acquired the firm on 18 July 2024, and effective 1 July 2025 TRAJECT is to be integrated with seven other Innovus entities under the unified Movares Smart Urban Engineering brand, forming a ~1,500-employee, >€200 million turnover Dutch engineering group in which TRAJECT's expertise sits within the new Buildings market unit of ~250 colleagues.
