(author)Control of HVAC systems may reduce congestion of the electricity grid on district level by shifting energy demand of buildings and increase the self-consumption of local photovoltaic energy. To achieve an optimal control of ventilation, occupant behaviour should be taken into account. To describe occupant behaviour, usually black box models are...conference paper 2022

Efficiency of three cooling methods for hyperthermic military personnel linked to water availabilityKlous, L. (author), van Diemen, F. (author), Ruijs, S. (author), Gerrett, N. (author), Daanen, H. (author), de Weerd, M. (author), Veenstra, B. (author), Levels, K. (author)Purpose: Three feasible cooling methods for treatment of hyperthermic individuals in the military, that differed considerably in water volume needed (none to ~80 L), were evaluated. Methods: Ten male soldiers were cooled following exercise-induced hyperthermia (rectal temperature (Tre) ∼39.5 °C) using ventilation by fanning (1.7 m s−1),...article 2022

(author)Purpose: Ventilated vests are developed to reduce thermal stress by enhancing convective and evaporative cooling from skin tissue underneath the vest. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether thermal stress is equal when a ventilated vest is worn compared to a no-vest situation with similar dry thermal resistance. Methods: Nine...article 2020

Jacobs, P. (author), Borsboom, W.A. (author)Cooking can be a major source of exposure to moisture, odours, particulate matter and contaminants resulting from cooking. Local exhaust can be used to capture these contaminants before they spread in the kitchen and living room space. For wall mounted range hoods several test methods have been set up. However for induction cooktops with...conference paper 2019

Jacobs, P. (author), Borsboom, W.A. (author), Kemp, R.E.J. (author)Cooking emissions have long been seen as an odour problem. However recent studies showed that Particulate Matter (PM) is the main health risk of indoor air and cooking can be a major source. A small field study within 9 Dutch dwellings indicates that depending on the conditions cooking can have a relatively large effect on the indoor exposure to...conference paper 2016

Daanen, H.A.M. (author), Herweijer, J.A. (author)Elderly indoors can be subject to considerable heat strain during heat waves. We investigated if a short indoor acclimation (HA) program leads to improved resilience to heat. Although full HA takes about ten days, the main changes occur in the first days, leading to reduced heat strain with similar stress. This study investigates changes after 3...article 2015
