Blom, T. (author), Jenkins, Andrew (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)The urban energy transition requires innovative heating and cooling systems, as well as enhanced flexibility in electricity usage. This paper explores the theoretical potential for vertical farms to contribute to the energy transition by supplying residual heat to local district heat networks and flexible electricity usage. A stepped approach...journal article 2024

Dang, M.K. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), Voskuilen, P.C. (author)The city of Amsterdam has ambitious goals to achieve a 95% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050 and to phase out natural gas by 2040. Disconnecting the building stock from natural gas requires well-ventilated and well-insulated buildings and a switch to renewable energy sources, making optimal use of heat pumps and sustainable heating solutions...journal article 2024

van Gameren, D. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)Abstract: The main task of a university is to conduct scientific research, accommodate scientific education, and transfer knowledge. Within this environment, new models, approaches, strategies and technologies can be tested and investigated safely. Simultaneously these processes can be monitored, evaluated and adjusted and enhanced when needed....conference paper 2023

Blom, T. (author), Jenkins, A.J. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)Vertical farms use some resources very efficiently. However, their electricity use is considerable, and a significant amount of waste heat is produced. This paper investigates how the integration of vertical farms in buildings could reduce the use of energy, water, and nutrients collectively across both entities by leveraging potential resource...journal article 2023

van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), Chen, H.C. (author), Dang, M.K. (author), Voskuilen, P. (author)According to the Paris Agreement, cities need to be carbon neutral by 2050. This entails a dramatic transition from a fossil fuel based built environment to one entirely running on renewable energy. In many European cities this means moving away from natural gas as prime source. At present, three options are generally considered as alternatives...conference paper 2023

Dang, M.K. (author), Cunin, Maxime (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)The joint deployment of energy reduction actions across multiple buildings at once is much needed to reach climate targets, but collective decision-making with shared ownership is a complex process. Each homeowner is accountable for their own energy use, while being constrained by their personal financial capacity and will to act with other co...conference paper 2023

ten Caat, P.N. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)The production, processing, and transportation of food, in particular animal-based products, imposes great environmental burden on the planet. The current food supply system often constitutes a considerable part of the total carbon emissions of urban communities in industrialised cities. Urban food production (UFP) is a method that can...journal article 2022

Du, T. (author), Turrin, M. (author), Jansen, S.C. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), De Luca, Francesco (author)Architectural space layout has proven to be influential on building energy performance. However, the relationship between different space layouts and their consequent energy demands has not yet been systematically studied. This study thoroughly investigates such a relationship. In order to do so, a computational method was developed, which...journal article 2022

One of these new farming methods is vertical farming. To understand the contribution of vertical farms to future sustainable food production, beyond its efficient...journal article 2022
