van der Bent, H.S. (author), van den Brom, P.I. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author), Meijer, A. (author), Mouter, N. (author)Achieving energy efficiency in the built environment requires extensive efforts in the renovation and adaptation of housing stock. A promising design solution is the heat pump. While gas boiler systems are commonly used in Dutch non-profit housing stock, the share of dwellings with a heat pump grew from 1.6% in 2017 to 3.2% in 2021. However,...journal article 2022

Visscher, H.J. (author)The European Union formulated high ambitions of energy reductions to be realised in the built environment. The existing housing stock covers a major share of energy use and is seen as high potential to contribute to the savings. This should be realised in the first place by reducing the energy demand for heating by renovation of the existing...conference paper 2017

Visscher, H.J. (author), Meijer, F.M. (author)The goals of energy saving and CO2 reductions to create an energy neutral building stock seem only to be reached by strict and supportive governmental policies. In Europe the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive are driving forces for Member States to develop and strengthen energy performance regulations...conference paper 2016

Visscher, H.J. (author)The housing stock has a major energy saving potential and is mostly considered to be the sector in which energy efficiency most cost effectively could be achieved. 30% of all energy use is consumed in the housing stock. The European union has formulated targets for a reduction of CO2 emissions to be achieved by a combination of energy efficiency...conference paper 2015

Visscher, H.J. (author)The urgent need for a dramatic reduction of fossil fuels in the built environment is without any doubt. The energy saving potential of the building stock is considered to be large and to be the most cost efficient sector to contribute to the CO2 reductions. Goals set by the European Union are to build net zero energy buildings in 2020 and to...conference paper 2015

Thomsen, A.F. (author), Nieboer, N.E.T. (author), Van der Flier, C.L. (author)Obsolescence, defined as the process of declining performance of buildings, is a serious threat for the value, the usefulness and the life span of housing properties. Thomsen and van der Flier (2011) developed a model in which obsolescence is categorised on the basis of two distinctions, namely between endogenous and exogenous cause-effect...conference paper 2015

Meijer, F.M. (author), Tambach, M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Home-owners are in principal responsible for maintaining the physical quality of their dwellings. It is in their own interest to do this in an adequate manner, but all kinds of constraints can and do occur in practice. Lack of financial means and insufficient (technical or practical) knowledge are only two of the possible barriers. The quality...conference paper 2012

Hegewald, A. (author), Bargstädt, H.J. (author)The paper presents an empirical study of investment activities on existing buildings and their dependencies on corporate strategic factors. The study is based on almost 3000 activities carried out from 2003 to 2007 on a typical characteristic housing stock in Germany. The stock is managed by a strategically positioned housing company. First the...conference paper 2011

Thomsen, A.F. (author)The 20th century saw an enormous worldwide growth of the housing stock. In particular the building boom after WW-II, during which the housing stock in most countries was multifolded, focussed the attention of the housing sector primarily to the planning and realisation of new construction; the consciousness of the enormous maintenance and...conference paper 2010

Sunikka, M.M. (author)In 2003 the European Commission introduced the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) in recognition of the importance of energy savings in the urban housing stock. One of the key elements described in the Directive is the introduction of energy certificates in a property transaction. This article discusses the anticipated efficiency...conference paper 2005
