Net-zero energy refurbishment with circular building materials at the TU Delft

The objective of this research is to decrease the energy and material consumption of TU Delft’s building stock, by providing the university with a refurbishment method. Refurbishments can have a large impact on the energy and material consumption of the Built Environment, as it focuses on the majority of the Built Environment. By designing net...

A circular biobased composite facade: Reseach on a high performance and circular application of biobased composite on a facade

The building industry produces 40% of the total amount of waste in the Netherlands and almost all of this waste leads to landfill loading. This has been the start for this research into a circular biobased composite façade. <br/><br/>The question for building materials is expected to increase in the future and some common used materials impend...
