Wat bedoelen burgers met ‘geen vertrouwen’? Kan de overheid vertrouwen terugwinnen? Onderzoekers spraken burgers en concluderen: burgers hebben te veel ‘instantiekapitaal’ nodig: ze moeten weten hoe de overheid werkt en waar je moet zijn.

The energy management systems industry in the built environment is currently an important topic. Buildings use about 40% of the total global energy worldwide. Therefore, the energy management system’s sector is one of the most influential sectors to realize changes and transformation of energy use. New …

Monitoring the energy performance of very low and zero energy buildings is fundamental to evaluate the efforts made to transition into an energy neutral built environment. Post occupancy monitoring has been embedded into current practice, supported by the availability of smart meters and affordable sensor …

Buildings need to be carefully operated and maintained for optimum health, comfort, energy performance, and utility costs. The increasing use of Machine Learning combined with Big Data in the building services sector has shown the potential to bring energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, …

Current methods for energy diagnosis in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are not consistent with process and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) as used by engineers to design and operate these systems, leading to very limited application of energy performance diagnosis in practice. …

Current symptom detection methods for energy diagnosis in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are not standardised and not consistent with HVAC process and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) as used by engineers to design and operate these systems, leading to a very limited application …

In this article a generic fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) method for demand controlled ventilation (DCV) systems is presented. By automated fault detection both indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy performance are strongly increased. This method is derived from a reference architecture based on a …

Consumenten beschikken tegenwoordig over een enorm aanbod aan goederen en diensten. Zij kiezen niet meer zomaar voor een product of dienst die beschikbaar is, voor een lage prijs aangeboden wordt en van hoge kwaliteit is (Hinloopen, Adriaansen & Zuiderwijk, 2009). Door deze verandering is ook een evolutie …

Introduction: Neuromuscular disease is a progressive muscle disease, whereby patients suffer from a decrease in muscle mass. Although muscle diseases can hardly be cured, treatment is possible with adequate protein intake. However, there is no general nutritional guideline available for patients with …
