De klimaatverandering dwingt tot een versnelling van de energietransitie. Een stad als Amsterdam heeft hierin hoge ambities. Het lectoraat Energie & Innovatie werkt hieraan mee door technologische interventies te onderzoeken en ontwerpen.Een zeer innovatieve interventie is een energiepositief gebied. …

A major target of the European Green Deal is to raise the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target to 55% compared to 1990. This high ambition includes an increase of the energy performance of buildings and additional generation of renewable energy in all sectors. The tertiary sector, including …

The construction sector is increasingly interested in circular and biobased material alternatives to achieve the necessary CO2 reduction.

Although there is an array of technical solutions available for retrofitting the building stock, the uptake of these by owner‐occupants in home improvement activities is lagging. Energy performance improvement is not included in maintenance, redecoration, and/or upgrading activities on a scale necessary …

Humidification is not a common procedure in many buildings in the Netherlands. An exception are buildings used for healthcare, especially hospitals. There, e.g. in operating theatres, relative humidity (RH) generally is controlled stringently at levels around 50%. From an energy point-of-view humidification …

Long before the COVID pandemic, we had already realised that traditional forms of internationalisation had their limitations. Mobility of students had remained limited to a small minority of students, a ‘cultural elite’. We had also become aware that student mobility was mostly from the global north …
