Rhea Ishani, Rhea Ishani (author)The building industry is material intensive and is responsible for approximately 40% of the total waste generated across the European Union. It operates on a ‘take-make-dispose’ model due to which key issues such as resource scarcity, waste generation, and environmental pressure occur. The circular economy has been attributed to the need to...master thesis 2022

Shahriari, Hamid reza (author)Nowadays, the high rate of urban population growth due to immigration and scarcity of land has significantly increased the need for new high-rise dwellings. Meanwhile, the recent building regulations require buildings to be highly energy-efficient to reduce the building’s impact on the environment. However, the inherent characteristics of these...master thesis 2020

Mac-Lean, Mitchell (author)The building industry consumes a lot of energy, uses a lot of materials and generates a lot of waste. In order to achieve sustainable development, it has to change its focus from merely the use phase to the complete life cycle of buildings. The PD lab is an experimental platform that does so, by setting its aim to develop a modular and...master thesis 2018

Kneepkens, S. (author)To date, buildings use 40% of the world’s energy and emit 20% of the world’s CO2. Therefore the EU developed the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, that requires all new buildings to be nearly zero-energy by the end of 2020. This is only possible when the buildings themselves produce renewable energy. This requires ample use of...master thesis 2017

van der Laan, A.J. (author)This master thesis describes and evaluates the development of living units for adaptive reuse. In many cases buildings that lose their function over time are destined to be demolished to make space for new estate, however these buildings are often ideal for adaptive reuse. The project was initiated due to a lack of appropriate solutions...master thesis 2016
