Wahi, P. (author), Konstantinou, T. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)This study presents an approach to determine the extent of renovation interventions required for existing Dutch dwellings aiming to transition to lower-temperature district heating (DH) systems. The proposed method is applied to a typical intermediate terraced house built before 1945 in the Netherlands, and it consists of two steps: first,...journal article 2023

Croon, T.M. (author), Hoekstra, J.S.C.M. (author), Dubois, U. (author)Since energy prices across Europe started to rise in 2021, there has been growing concern of social housing tenants at risk of energy poverty. So far, studies have largely focused on the role of governments and on what tenants themselves could do. However, research has rarely considered specific targeting approaches by social housing providers ...abstract 2023

Stefanie Horian, S.H. (author), Qian, QK (author), Hoekstra, J.S.C.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Energy efficiency renovation (EER) of the existing residential housing stock is crucial to achieving further decarbonization to be climate neutral by 2050. This transition is particularly challenging for affordable rental housing providers as they have to make intensive investment decisions while balancing rental affordability for their low- and...abstract 2023

de Haas, K. (author), Berkhout, B (author), Dekker, H.R.E. (author), Broere, W. (author)Determining the scope of (structural) renovation of aging tunnels is a complicated task and modular renovation is becoming increasingly necessary. The COB Tunnel Programme aims at developing the knowledge necessary to renovate these tunnels in a modular fashion, to reduce hindrance as much as possible. Part of this program is the development of...conference paper 2022

Konstantinou, T. (author), Heesbeen, C. (author)Given the European building stock’s current size and state, its potential to be renovated up to an energy-neutral quality is getting much attention, contributing to energy transition and other sustainable and societal benefits. To tackle this potential, both the number of buildings that undergo renovation and the amount of the resulting energy...book chapter 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

Patidar, Y. (author), Bokel, R.M.J. (author)Dutch housing built before the 1990s consumes the highest percentage of<br/>primary energy for heating and generally exhibits poor comfort. With the government targeting to convert 300,000 existing homes to become more energy-efficient every year, a renovation wave has started. How do we achieve this? This paper proposes a natural air...journal article 2021

Krijnen, T.F. (author), El-Diraby, Tamer (author), Konomi, Theohar (author), Attalla, Ahmed (author)Multi-disciplinary three-dimensional representations of building designs are available in BIM. However, thermal analysis often remains a manual task due to disparities in modelling: In IFC, buildings are decomposed into sets of elements with individual solid volumes. Thermal analysis requires interfaces between pairs of adjacent spaces.<br/>In...conference paper 2021
