Kerstens, A (author), Greco, A. (author)The realization of sustainable plus energy neighborhoods (SPENs) is key to achieving a carbon neutral built environment, and meeting the objectives of the green deal. Financial schemes have demonstrated effectiveness in driving the energy transition of individual buildings. However, the role of financial schemes in initiating the development of...article 2023

(author)The construction sector is responsible for a substantial share of adverse environmental impacts from materials usage, waste generation, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the construction sector is a major creator of economic and societal value. Retrofitting existing residential buildings can contribute to the achievement...article 2021

Schut, G. (author)Begin oktober heeft TNO in Delft zijn Bouwinnovatie Lab geopend: 2700 m2 onderzoeksruimte in een fonkelnieuw pand met translucente gevelpanelen, dat toepasselijk op een bouwkavel in de weilanden naast de A13 staat. Het laboratorium omvat een bonte verzameling installaties, waar onderzoek gedaan kan worden voor wegenbouw, binnenklimaat,...article 2021

Nadolski, V. (author), Rózsás, Á. (author), Sýkora, M. (author)Partial factors are commonly based on expert judgements and on calibration to previous design formats. This inevitably results in unbalanced structural reliability for different types of construction materials, loads and limit states. Probabilistic calibration makes it possible to account for plentiful requirements on structural performance,...article 2019

de Rooij, M.R. (author)This summer, all over Europe, record temperatures have been measured. From my own country, the Netherlands, the people working at the various meteorology organisations never imagined that the temperature in more than half the country would reach above 40°C. And yet it did! Another example that the climate is changingarticle 2019

Kootstra, L. (author), Keijzer, E. (author), Errami, S. (author), Bogaards, C. (author)Circularity is an increasingly often mentioned ambition of governments of various levels, yet the translation into concrete plans and policies is limited. The Metropole Region of Amsterdam (MRA) is a pioneer in this field, initiating a research for circular rebuilding of a neighbourhood in 2016 and the development of a roadmap for circular urban...conference paper 2019

(author)Transportation infrastructure assets are designed to meet pre-specified reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) requirements. Electrical and mechanical components are critical elements with respect to the RAMS-criteria. Unplanned failure of these components lead to societal impact, unsafe situations or costs. The trend in...conference paper 2019

Vesela, S. (author), Kingma, B.R.M. (author), Frijns, A.J.H. (author), van Marken Lichtenbelt, W.D. (author)The quality of local skin temperature prediction by thermophysiological models depends on the local skin blood flow (SBF) control functions. These equations were derived for low activity levels (0.8-1 met ) and mostly in sitting or supine position. This study validates and discusses the prediction of foot SBF during activities of 1-3 met in male...article 2019

Zhang, H. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Savija, B. (author)Cement paste is the glue that holds concrete together and any improvements in material performance will come from its microstructure. For better understanding and predicting its elastic properties and fracture performance, more and more studies are carried out based on micromechanics simulations. However, the predicted results can be hardly...conference paper 2018

Roubos, A.A. (author), Steenbergen, R.D.J.M. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author)Design codes and standards rely on generalised target reliability indices. It is unclear, however, whether these indices are applicable to the specific risk-profile of marine structures. In this study, target reliability indices for quay walls were derived from various risk acceptance criteria, such as economic optimisation, individual risk (IR)...article 2018

Rózsás, Á. (author), Mogyorósi, Z.
