Wuite, F.G.E. (author), Peng, Zhikai (author), Kim, K.J. (author), Lugten, M.C. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author)This study aims to evaluate the impact of different urban building geometries (six courtyards, two canyons, two slabs) on heat mitigation and aircraft noise attenuation, in order to support an evidence-based retrofit plan for future airport neighborhoods. Using ’Pachyderm + ENVI-met simulations + field measurements’, we found that the slanted...conference paper 2024

Kim, K.J. (author), Lugten, M.C. (author), Wuite, F.G.E. (author), Peng, Zhikai (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author)Analyzing the impact of aircraft noise on urban areas requires specific consideration of sound propagation over long distances, which is not typically covered by tools designed for indoor acoustics. Although it is unclear to what extent existing parametric tools that combine 3D modeling and acoustic simulation can accurately replicate these...conference paper 2024

Wuite, F.G.E. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Lugten, M.C. (author)Aircraft are a source of noise pollution in areas surrounding airports. Buildings shield or amplify local sound levels, albeit that the level of shielding varies considerably. The sound pressure levels reaching ground receivers in the built environment depend on flight position relative to the receiver, atmospheric and weather effects, and the...conference paper 2023

Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Turrin, M. (author), van der Spoel, W.H. (author)Phase change materials (PCMs) have already been used in buildings and building services for several decades, mostly integrated into walls or ceilings to passively increase the building’s thermal inertia, or integrated into the HVAC system for (pre-)heating or (pre-)cooling fresh air. More recently, the use of PCMs in facades is being explored...conference paper 2022

Wahi, P. (author), Konstantinou, T. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)In the Netherlands, district heating with a lower temperature supply (<70°C) will play a crucial part in accomplishing the energy transition goals of delivering natural gas-free sustainable heating to dwellings. The existing dwellings often require energy renovations to make them suitable for lower temperature heating. However, choosing...conference paper 2022

Karaiskou, Antigoni (author), Turrin, M. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author)Speech intelligibility is crucial in many spaces, yet designers often fail to predict the acoustic shortcomings of certain design choices. This paper builds on the potential of hybrid surface treatments showcasing low-frequency absorption to control background noise levels and high-frequency diffusion to improve speech-in-noise perception to...conference paper 2020

Wattez, Y.C.M. (author), Cosmatu, T. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Turrin, M. (author), Heinzelmann, Florian (author)In order to reduce the energy demand of households, a new type of Trombe wall is being designed during a ‘research through design project’ called ‘Double Face 2.0’. A Trombe wall is a passive system that reduces the energy demand of a building. In winter, it captures the heat from the sun during the day and releases this heat into the building...conference paper 2017

Vlaun, N.J.V. (author), van Waart, A. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Turrin, M. (author)Optimizing the acoustic environment of open plan offices is a complex task due to the large number of design parameters that must be considered. In current practice, acoustic analysis – even in a simplified form – is not naturally integrated into the design process of office spaces. Applying digital acoustic simulation in architectural design...conference paper 2016

Davis, Michael Maks (author), Perez, Maria Elena (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Ramirez, Francisco (author)Noise can become uncomfortable for us in many situations both indoors and outdoors. External noise consists of activities (airplanes flying overhead, traffic on the road, etc.) that are either loud enough to be considered uncomfortable when outdoors, or are of an elevated volume to the extent that they infiltrate buildings at levels considered...conference paper 2016

Raji, B. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)Due to the ever growing trend of urbanization and population growth, the construction of high-rise buildings is inevitable and will also continue at an ever increasing pace. However, typical high-rise buildings (the traditional template of a rectilinear, air-conditioned box) are not energy efficient in many aspects of their design. In this...conference paper 2014
