Pekuss, Raitis (author)Cement production is responsible for 8% of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions [1]. Reducing this share will be a strenuous task as the global population and urbanization rates are increasing and, therefore, the need for concrete will remain high [2], [3]. Simultaneously, despite the alarming statistic, a vast majority of demolished concrete...master thesis 2023

Hogerheijde, Sebastiaan (author)This research addresses the environmental impact of foundations in lightweight housing units, focusing on BAM's timber house concept, FLOW. While the engineered timber superstructure is environmentally conscious, the foundation's contribution is often overlooked. The study aims to minimise the Environmental Cost Indicator (ECI) of FLOW houses by...master thesis 2023

Teeuwen, Rianne (author)The circular potential of existing aluminium curtain wall facades is investigated in this study. The focus is primarily on reuse, refurbishment and re-manufacturing, aiming to raise the value of materials that have not yet reached the end of their service life. The increasing concern about resource depletion, damage to the ecosphere and the need...master thesis 2023

Bor, Hanco (author)The challenge of global warming is an increasing concern of the 21st century. The concept of sustainability is therefore considered of high importance. A major problem of the Dutch government is the growing housing demand. Also after the WWII, the Netherlands faced a housing crisis, resulting in about 847,000 council houses. The massive number...master thesis 2023

SU, Mengying (author)Researches have been conducted to involve the sustainability of energy in the building's early design stage. The methods used include the IEF-based method, the BIM-API-based method, and other approaches. However, these methods have not helped architects out in the early design stage since the complexity of the assessment is not decreased.<br/>...master thesis 2023

Salitrežić, Juraj (author)Space frame structures today are a common choice of load bearing system for achieving long spans with minimal interruptions of the floor plan beneath. On top of that, the versatility of space frame structures to conform to any shape makes them particularly interesting today, especially in the context of free-form geometry which is becoming ever...master thesis 2022

Haasis, Chris (author)The buildings construction industry is demanded to reduce its ecological footprint to mitigate its contribution to climate change. In this context, a novel sustainable design strategy for the reuse of timber was developed in this Master thesis. The design strategy focuses on the utilization of the material “reclaimed timber” (RT) in the...master thesis 2022

de Nooijer, Arend-Jan (author)In this thesis the passive humidity control of indoor air is laid under review. This is primarily interesting for museum rooms, where strict requirements apply to the indoor air humidity. Passive humidity control is promising to contribute to stabilizing the relative humidity levels in a room. <br/><br/>Besides, the use of passive humidity...master thesis 2022

Nikumbh, Parikshit (author)Environmental noise has become a large health concern in Europe with at least one in five people exposed to levels considered harmful to health. Additionally, prolonged exposure to excessive levels of noise has a negative economic impact.<br/>The rapid development of urban areas makes the effect of noise pollution even worse. However, architects...master thesis 2022

Spiering, Boris (author)Due to global warming and the subsequent rise of the sea level, scarcity of land to build on, the continues increase of the world’s population and a shift in population from rural areas to the city, there is a need for innovative projects to tackle or deal with the increase of needed liveable area. One of the solutions is floating cities. A...master thesis 2022

Nijman, Marit (author)This research tries to answer the question which construction material, concrete or timber, is best to use during the construction of terraced housing in the Netherlands, based on the environmental performance. Existing studies often do not take all aspects of a design for the comparison into account, or have a bias toward one material. In order...master thesis 2021

Isufi, Fiori (author)The motivation of the thesis relates to designing grid shells over existing buildings. Grid shell roofs are a way to enclose an existing space structurally efficiently and have minimal interference with the surroundings from an architectural and environmental perspective. The solution results in less material usage than shell structures, and...master thesis 2021
