Çetin, Sultan (author), Straub, A. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)The world is facing an alarming housing crisis. The challenge for the construction industry is to find sustainable ways to meet this growing housing demand. The concept of Circular Economy could be an alternative approach as it aims to regenerate, narrow, slow, and close resources loops. Digital technologies are seen as enablers to implementing...conference paper 2022

Suijkerbuijk, Bart (author), Straub, A. (author), Hermans, M.H. (author)Recently in the Netherlands collaboration emerged as the proposed best way of working together. Clients and contractors are promoting collaboration, and they also prescribe collaboration in their future visions on the construction sector. We challenge this automatism by which collaboration is chosen as the most effective and efficient way. We...conference paper 2019

Nieboer, N.E.T. (author), Straub, A. (author)It is generally acknowledged that the existing housing stock plays a vital role in attaining national and international energy efficiency targets. As for new building, mandatory regulations can be (and are) developed to attain energy-efficient homes, but energy improvements in the existing stock are, because of property rights, strongly...conference paper 2018

Wu, H. (author), Qian, QK (author), Visscher, H.J. (author), Straub, A. (author)Sustainable development has been the focus of all major industries in the world, especially in the construction industry. As one of the sustainable construction modes, housing industrialization (HI) is now absorbing a growing number of attentions that lead the industry to go green. However, the implementation of HI in China is far from...conference paper 2017

Mlecnik, E. (author), Straub, A. (author), Haavik, T. (author)On average 64 % of the dwellings in Europe are owner-occupied. Although there is an enormous potential to reduce their energy use and hence CO2 emissions, the current average renovation rate is just around 1,2 %. The development of one-stop-shops is expected to increase the market uptake of home renovation. Developing emerging frontrunner...conference paper 2017

Ploeger, H.D. (author), Prins, M. (author), Straub, A. (author), van den Brink, R. (author)The concept that suppliers retain ownership of building products and the materials encapsulated within these products and that their customers ‘only’ pay for services is a paradigm in Circular Economy. However in many legal systems, elements incorporated in a building such as the facade or the roof, or equipment in a plant, are seen as fixtures...conference paper 2017

van den Brink, R. (author), Prins, M. (author), Straub, A. (author), Ploeger, H.D. (author)After its launch, the circular economy gained popularity all over the world as the new sustainability paradigm. Despite its popularity there is little to no material to be found on the implementation of the circular economy in the construction industry. Through a mixed method methodology using literature reviews, case studies, thought exercises,...conference paper 2017

Papaioannou, I. (author), Straub, D. (author)In many geotechnical projects, field data is used to determine the soil parameters. In most instances, however, the statistical analysis is performed ad hoc and the spatial distribution of this data is not (expclitly) accounted for. A more formal statistical approach allows to make better use of the data and combine it in a consistent manner...conference paper 2015

Yuan, J (author), Papaioannou, I (author), Straub, D. (author)Landslide events often occur after rainfall events during which the pore water pressure builds up within surficial soil layers, leading to shallow slope failure. The spatial variability of the permeability parameters of the soil causes high gradients in pore water pressure when the rainwater infiltrates into the slope. In this paper, we compute...conference paper 2015

Roders, M.J. (author), Straub, A. (author)Housing managers are constantly confronted with the changing demands that their building stock has to comply with. One of the change agents is the changing climate, caused primarily by human induced greenhouse gases.
