Kleiman, F. (author), Meijer, Sebastiaan (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Governments are increasingly using games for civic engagement, decision making, and education. Serious gaming is a type of game that has often been advocated as a means for changing the attitude of its players and can be used for changing the attitude of civil servants. However, the relationship between games and attitude change in civil...journal article 2020

van Stijn, A. (author), Eberhardt, L. C.M. (author), Wouterszoon Jansen, B. (author), Meijer, A. (author)Introduction. The building sector consumes 40% of resources globally, produces 40% of global waste and 33% of all emissions. The transition towards a Circular Economy (CE) in the built environment is vital to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as responsible consumption and production. The built environment can gradually be...journal article 2020

Roungas, V. (author), Bekius, F.A. (author), Verbraeck, A. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Gaming simulations (games) for policy and decision making have been the neglected “sibling” of educational and training games. The latter have experienced a widespread usage by practitioners and researchers, while the former have had limited, yet slowly increasing, adoption by organisations. As a result, various issues developing and using these...journal article 2020

Akkerman, I. (author), Meijer, J. H.A. (author), ten Eikelder, M.F.P. (author)This paper presents a novel variational formulation to simulate linear free-surface flow. The variational formulation is suitable for higher-order finite elements and higher-order and higher-continuity shape functions as employed in Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). The novel formulation combines the interior and free-surface problems in one...journal article 2020

Ebrahimigharehbaghi, S. (author), Qian, QK (author), Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The renovation of housing stock in the Netherlands has the potential to help achieving the country's climate change targets. However, there are non-monetary Transaction Cost (TC) factors, such as searching for information and finding a reliable professional/contractor, that present barriers to householders when making the decision to renovate...journal article 2020

Jia, L. (author), Qian, QK (author), Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The implementation of energy retrofit of residential buildings faces many risks around the world, especially in China, leading to low retrofit progress. Stakeholders’ proactive risk management is the key to the smooth implementation of retrofit projects but is normally affected by risk perception. Perceived risks instead of real risks are the...journal article 2020

Meijer, Rick (author), Jonkman, Arend (author)Land-policy instruments are important to local governments for the implementation of densification. This article explores the factors behind local governments’ motives that determine the use of specific land-policy instruments to achieve densification. The aim is to increase understanding of how available land-policy instruments are applied in...journal article 2020

Kleiman, F. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Meijer, Sebastiaan (author), Jansen, S.J.T. (author)Open data policies are increasingly being adopted by governments. However, civil servants find it challenging to comply with open data policies. Gaming can help civil servants to practise opening data and can change their behaviour to support the opening of more data. In this article, the effect of playing a game is evaluated in an experiment...journal article 2020

van der Bent, H.S. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author), Meijer, A. (author), Mouter, N. (author)Following regulation of the European Union, objectives were formulated to reduce energy consumption of the built environment in the Netherlands. For the stock of Dutch non-profit housing associations it was agreed to improve the average energy performance to an average energy index of 1.40 in 2020. This research assesses and gives insights in...journal article 2019

van den Brom, P.I. (author), Meijer, A. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Energy renovations often result in lower energy savings than expected. Therefore, in this study we investigate nearly 90,000 renovated dwellings in the Netherlands with pre and post renovation data of actual and calculated energy consumption. One of the main additions of this paper, compared to previous studies on thermal renovation, is that...journal article 2019

J.(Albert) (author)Big data promises to transform public decision-making for the better by making it more responsive to actual needs and policy effects. However, much recent work on big data in public decision-making assumes a rational view of decision-making, which has been much criticized in the public administration debate. In this paper, we apply this view,...journal article 2019

Roungas, V. (author), Bekius, F.A. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Background. The abstraction of complex systems, which is required by default when modelling gaming simulations, is a convoluted and time-consuming process. For gaming simulations to be efficient and effective, the problem of the real system they imitate needs to be narrowed down and simplified as much as possible. Additionally, even after...journal article 2019

Meijer, D.W.J. (author), Scholten, L. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Knobbe, Arno (author)Sewer pipes are commonly inspected in situ with CCTV equipment. The CCTV footage is then reviewed by human operators in order to classify defects in the pipes and make a recommendation on possible interventions. This process is both labor-intensive and error-prone. Other researchers have suggested machine learning techniques to (partially)...journal article 2019
