Corona: Nieuwe aandacht voor ventilatie in scholen

Goed ventileren is op veel Nederlandse scholen een uitdaging. De luchtkwaliteit in de lokalen is hierdoor vaak onvoldoende, waardoor hoofdpijn, vermoeidheidsklachten en verminderde leer-prestaties kunnen ontstaan. Daarnaast is bekend dat onvoldoende luchtverversing een risico kan zijn voor de overdracht van infectieziekten. Sinds de uitbraak van...

Integral building design approach of building and occupants: Follow the sun

Design for adaptability should start with the occupants needs for comfort and indoor air quality. These are partly influences by the changing environmental forces as wind and sun. Weather predictions and the aggegated voting of users about their thermal comfort, should be the leading parameters to adaptable comfort and the adaptable building. To...

Collaborative integral design of active roofs

The application of photo-voltaic elements is the most economical on the roof. Still this often leads to severe problems due to poor coordination of all the design and practical aspects involved. This paper describes the research methodology, based on Methodical Design, as used in a design approach related to practice and the 6th European...

Workshops in Dutch sustainable building design practice

Within the present context of the Dutch Sustainable Building Practice it is hard for the different involved building design disciplines to give a good answer to sustainability. Especially this is the case for the application solar energy either in passive or active form. As traditional methods did not work out adequately a new approach within...

Design of an agent architecture based on the PowerMatcher approach for coordination of heating and cooling in buildings and domestic dwellings

A lot of simultaneous processes do occur in a building. With the increase of the number of devices for heating and cooling of the building, there is a higher risk of one device counteracting the other. This leads to unnecessary loss of energy. It is becoming harder for conventional comfort control systems to satisfy the objective: ‘provide...

Design collaboration and team working

"One of the core problems within construction industry is knowledge exchange between the different participants during the design- and engineering process (Lechner 1991, Cross 1992, Reymen 2001, van Aken 2005). To link the parts of the knowledge-triangle practice, education and research forms the basis for possible solutions - in the context of...

New typologies for active roofs; An integral approach

A wide variety of new products, such as photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar collectors, roof lights, ventilation devices, insulation and safety devices, is finding its way into the roofing industry. As a result many problems occurred, resulting in poor quality, unsafe working conditions and high repair costs. The 6framework Pan-European EUR...

Design methodology for innovative roofs

Traditional roofs have primary, passive, functions such as protection against rain, wind, snow etc.. Nowadays, roofs are increasingly used as preferred location for additional functions such as photovoltaic systems, roof lights and safety devices. New approaches, on designing as well as assembling the roof, are necessary; tools for innovative...

Integral design workshop for sustainable comfort systems to improve ventilation concepts

Integral design shows high promises to reduce failure costs and to improve design quality. In the ongoing workshop series, in which already over 200 professionals from the Royal Institute of Dutch Architects (BNA) and the Dutch Association of Consulting Engineers (ONRI) participated, integral design methodology in the domain of sustainable...

Het nieuwe leren

Om de bouw nieuwe positieve impulsen voor ontwikkeling te geven is in 2002 “Het nieuwe bouwen in Nederland” gepresenteerd door Hennes de Ridder. Dit model gaat uit van kale, transparant gemaakte kosten en sturen op maximaal nut. Dit sturen is dynamisch, een “open begin”, in plaats van een open einde. Dit met als doel gezamenlijk te sturen op...

Adaptable typologies for active roofs

The main objective of this part of the 6th framework Pan-European EUR-ACTIVE ROOF-er project is to improve the interaction between design participants of dynamic adaptable Active Roofs in product development and Active Roofs from an architects/ customers perspective. Improvements in Active Roof design on the basis of those technological product...

Integral design methodology for sustainable construction comfort systems

Sustainable flexible process innovation. Towards a new building design approach

Developers and investors ofresidential and office buildings are facing large risks. A yearly loss ofcapital of approximately 50 billion EURO can be reduced by improvement of the design process. The need for more sustainable and end user oriented buildings on a background ofthe dynamics ofever changing needs is indisputable. This paper gives an...
