Van Riel, W.A.P. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Herder, P.M. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Decision-making for sewer asset management is partially based on intuition and often lacks explicit argumentation, hampering decision transparency and reproducibility. It is unknown to what extent each information source is appreciated by decision makers. Further insight into this relative importance and into implicit factors, improves...conference paper 2014

Nieboer, N.E.T. (author), Thomsen, A.F. (author), Van der Flier, C.L. (author)Obsolescence, broadly defined as a process of declining performance resulting in the end of the service life, is a serious threat for built property. This is even more the case in present times of reduced investment budgets and relatively small numbers of new-built homes, which increase the relative importance of the existing housing stock....conference paper 2014

Thomsen, A.F. (author), Van der Flier, C.L. (author)Obsolescence is a serious threat for built property. As an often used demolition motive, obsolescence can be regarded as the last phase of the life span of buildings. From a sustainable viewpoint, life cycle extension is necessary to minimize waste. But there are more considerations to carefully maintain the existing stock. Knowledge about the...conference paper 2013

Thomsen, A. (author), Van der Flier, K. (author)What is obsolescence? There is a general understanding that buildings, similar to machinery, should be demolished and replaced when they become obsolete. The truth of this assertion is found problematic, as obsolescence is not clearly understood in conceptual or practical terms. Understanding obsolescence is important. It presents a serious...conference paper 2011
