De Brito, M.P. (author), Van der Laan, E.A. (author)Research has pointed out opportunities and research agendas to integrate sustainability issues with supply chain and operations management. However, we find that it is still not mainstream practice to systematically take a sustainability approach in tackling supply chain and operations management issues. In this paper, we make use of behavioral...journal article 2010

Matsuhashi, N. (author), Kuijer, L. (author), De Jong, A.M. (author)This paper explores a design method to generate insights for designing less resource-intensive forms of everyday life. This study takes the assumption that looking at cultural diversity can widen the variety of insights which can be used as a source of inspiration for designing sustainable practices. However, there is a lack of clear-cut...conference paper 2009

Van Nederveen, S. (author), Gielingh, W. (author)Credit-reductions by banks, as a consequence of the global monetary crisis, will hit the construction industry for many years to come. There are however still financing opportunities for building projects that are perceived as less risky. Buildings that are not only sustainable, but also flexible and adaptive, are becoming attractive...journal article 2009

Stougie, L. (author), Van der Kooi, H.J. (author)A thorough qualitative investigation of the relation between exergy losses and environmental problems has been conducted. Environmental effects being taken into account include climate change, acidification, eutrophication, disposal and dissipation. It is concluded that almost all environmental effects can be taken into account by studying the...conference paper 2009

Thomsen, A.F. (author), van der Flier, C.L. (author)What is better: renovation or new construction? Following the plenary debate on the ENHR 2007 conference in Rotterdam we continued our search for the answer to this question. The choice between reuse and replacement of existing buildings is a vital but very difficult one, involving a wide range of aspects and affecting contradictory and often...conference paper 2008

Schifferstein, H.N.J. (author), Zwartkruis-Pelgrim, E.P.H. (author)Due to differences in the attachment consumers experience towards the durable products they own, they hang on to certain products whereas they easily dispose of others. From the viewpoint of sustainability, it may be worthwhile to lengthen the life span of many durable consumer products. Hence, there is a challenge for designers to strengthen...journal article 2008

Bouvier, C.P. (author)This thesis describes the challenge to apply a breakthrough in the synthesis of acidic zeolitic catalysts in the development of a sustainable process for dimethyl naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylate. BiModal POrous Materials (BIPOMs) are zeolitic materials, which provide highway access to confined catalytic sites, thus allowing selective reactions...doctoral thesis 2008

Wever, R. (author), Boks, C. (author), Stevels, A. (author)Two major changes are currently taking place in the world of Consumer Electronics. They are, first, the relocation of production to low-wage countries, in particularly China. This results in longer distribution distances, which lead to a higher relative importance of this phase in the entire life cycle. To make this phase as efficient as...conference paper 2006

Van Gorp, A.C. (author)The goal of this research is to obtain insight in how engineers deal with ethical issues in daily engineering design practice. It is reasonable to assume that ethical issues and the way engineers deal with them depend on characteristics of the design process. I have made use of Vincentis dimensions to characterize different design processes:...doctoral thesis 2005
