Het doel van dit rapport is meer zicht te krijgen op de vraag in welke mate en hoe burgerinitiatieven rond collectieve warmtenetten erin slaagden resultaat te boeken. Sinds enige jaren ontstaan steeds meer van dit soort initiatieven in Nederland, in navolging van wind- en zonne-energiecoöperaties, en …

Energy planning in the built environment increasingly takes place in local settings. Suitable planning models should therefore be able to capture local dynamics, such as stakeholder behaviour, resource availability and building characteristics. In relation to the key challenges of energy transition in …

Machine learning models have proven to be reliable methods in classification tasks. However, little research has been conducted on the classification of dwelling characteristics based on smart meter and weather data before. Gaining insights into dwelling characteristics, which comprise of the type of …

Renewable energy systems are a crucial technological development needed to combat climate change. This thesis covers the design and implementation of a mathematical optimization model, which calculates the lowest cost of hydrogen for certain renewable energy system configurations. The output of the model …

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. …

On the 11th of March, just a few days aheadof COVID – 19, the team working on the ELISEUse Case “Comparative analysis of differentmethodologies and datasets for EnergyPerformance Labelling of buildings” organizedthe 2nd European SimStadt workshop atSaxion University of Applied Sciences inEnschede, hosted …

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 …

The government of Ukraine has adopted the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) with clear goals and a roadmap to facilitate its energy transition towards renewable sources. This is done because of both climate concerns as well as reasons related to Ukraine’s foreign policy which led the government to decide …

A lot of energy in the Port of Rotterdam is getting wasted by power plants or other petrochemical companies. This waste energy can be reused. The assignment of this feasibility study is how a technical design concept of an integrated district heating process is applicable in the Westland. This thesis …
