Krutisch, L.N. (author), Qian, QK (author), Mlecnik, E. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Energy efficient renovation (EER) of the owner-occupied building stock is identified as a key effort to pursue in order to mitigate climate change. However, current renovation rates continuously fall behind and a need to foster EER uptake is apparent. As homeowners' behaviour and decision-making are crucial in the context of EER, behavioural...conference paper 2023

Muhaimin, T.A. (author), Nikolaos, M. (author)In context of rising demand for energy amidst limited resources, energy efficiency is one of the major concerns of a modernized world. Gas consumption in the built environment constitutes for more than 30% of the overall energy consumption in the world. Hence, energy transitions and their preferences in the built environment demand urgent...conference paper 2014

Ligtvoet, A. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author), Fens, T.W. (author), van den Hoven, M.J. (author), van Beers, Cees (author), Herder, P.M. (author)The interconnected nature of the different components of smart grids is a prime example of complexity in technological systems. Developing such systems is highly dependent on the wishes and needs of end-users and other stakeholders. We argue that stakeholder values should be taken into consideration during the design and standardisation of...conference paper 2014

Mannaerts, A. (author), Van Daalen, C. (author), Van Luipen, J. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)With a sizeable expected growth of demand for rail transport in the Netherlands in the coming decades, and limited resources for expansion of the rail network, intensified utilization of the infrastructure is to be expected. To adequately manage this growth, appropriate tools for policy analysis are needed. The possibilities and pitfalls of...conference paper 2013

Hoekstra, J.S.C.M. (author)The Dutch model of social rental housing is often seen as a good practice for other European coun-tries. This is due to the fact that the Dutch social rental sector has a large size, offers dwellings of a relatively good quality and functions without receiving substantial subsidies. However, current poli-cies, both at the European and the...conference paper 2013

De Groen, A. (author), Pruyt, E. (author), Boumeester, H.J.F.M. (author)Social rental housing ought to function as safety net for the lower income groups in the housing system. However, the Dutch housing system has a relatively large social housing stock in relation to other housing systems in Europe – larger than would be required for a safety net for lower income groups. Hence, households which are financially...conference paper 2012

Stive, M.J.F. (author)Using the Dutch coastal evolution in the Holocene upto the present as an example and a test case, a coastal evolution concept is proposed and materialized with which shoreline position changes for different sea level rise scenarios are predicted. The (more generally applicable) model applies to (quasi-)uniform coastal stretches. It accounts for...conference paper 1990
