Niklaß, Malte (author), Grewe, V. (author), Gollnick, V (author)Approximately two third of aviation’s climate impact is caused by non-CO2 effects, like the production of ozone and the formation of contrail-cirrus clouds, which can be effectively prevented by re-routing flights around highly climate-sensitive areas. Although climate-optimized re-routing results in slightly longer flight times, increased fuel...abstract 2020

Bischoff van Heemskerck, W.C. (author), Booy, N. (author)The designing engineer often comes across the economic decision problem in which the "benefit" of a higher design criterion must be weighed against the "cost". Several methods have been developed to deal with this optimization problem; none of them, however, offer the possibility of introducing the appropriate considerations of a general policy...conference paper 1969

(author)This paper explores the business case for designing more adaptable buildings, an issue that has, for the most part, been overlooked in the literature. It reviews some of the existing literature on adaptability and discusses the drivers for and barriers to designing buildings that are more adaptable. In doing so, it draws upon lessons from the...conference paper 2011
