Small urban water bodies, such as ponds or canals, are commonly believed to solve urban heat problems but recent research shows that the cooling effect of large urban water bodies on hot summer days is quite limited and can actually induce a night-time warming effect. However, shading, vaporising water …

Urban water bodies like ponds or canals are commonly assumed to provide effective cooling in hot periods. Some of the evidence that feeds this assertion is based on remote sensing observations at relatively large scales. Such observations generally reveal reduced surface temperatures of water bodies …

Het onderzoek is ontstaan uit een vraag over het automatiseren van basisbewerkingen t/m 20 vanuit Kbs de St. Joseph. In het onderzoek was het doel strategieën aan te leren in een rekenspelvorm om uiteindelijk tot een snellere automatisering te kunnen komen en mogelijk de motivatie te vergroten waardoor …

In this book of examples we present possible implementations of straightforward and manageable climate-resilient ideas and options for residential streets. Examples from ordinary Dutch street views show how climate resilience can be implemented with simple solutions and how this does not need to be more …

This book of examples suggests a variety of options for easy and accessible climate-resilient retrofitting of residential areas. The case studies for a set of common streets in the Netherlands will match urban settings in other countries. The examples show that effective climate-resilient retrofitting …

The future will be warmer with more tropical days, heat stress and related impacts for the healthy and liveable city. This is clear from many scientific studies and papers. Yet many local governments in the Netherlands claim to have insufficient understanding of the importance of these impacts in order …

Op basisschool St. Martinus hebben de leerkrachten van de kleutergroepen te weinig kennis is over de begeleiding van kleuters met een (mogelijke) ontwikkelingsvoorsprong. Deze leerlingen hebben specifieke leerbehoeftes waarop je als leerkracht moet inspelen. Hierbij is het belangrijk dat je een stimulerende …

This paper presents five design prototypes for cool urban water environments developed in the 'Really cooling water bodies in cities' (REALCOOL) project. The REALCOOL prototypes address an urgent need: urban water bodies, such as ponds or canals, are often assumed to cool down their surroundings during …

Blue spaces in cities are often regarded as adaptation measures that effectively reduce urban heat. Therefore, urban professionals like to integrate blue infrastructures in climate resilient designs. However, several studies indicated that the cooling effect of small water bodies is often small or absent. …
