Schmidt, H.S. (author), Leschinger, Valentin (author), Müller, Florian J.Y. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Renes, Reint Jan (author), Schmehl, R. (author), Hübner, Gundula (author)Airborne wind energy (AWE) is an emerging renewable energy technology that uses kites to harvest winds at higher altitudes than wind turbines. Understanding how residents experience a local AWE system (AWES) is important as the technology approaches commercialization. Such knowledge can help adjust the design and deployment of an AWES to fit...journal article 2024

Debbaghi, Fatima-Zahra (author), Kroesen, M. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Pudane, B. (author)Automated vehicles (AVs) may transform not only our travel experience but our complete daily schedules. This study analyses the data from an interactive stated activity-travel survey using latent class cluster analysis to uncover the types and prevalence of schedule changes with AVs. The analysis reveals that the majority of respondents expected...journal article 2024

Biely, Katharina (author), Sareen, Siddharth (author), de Vries, G. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Bauwens, Thomas (author), Montagnino, Fabio Maria (author)CO<sub>2</sub> emissions need to be reduced drastically to fight climate change and minimise the further increase of average global temperatures. The decarbonisation of the energy system aims at reducing CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and is thus urgently needed. This transition is facilitated by inter alia switching to renewable energy sources and...contribution to periodical 2024

Hubert, Naomi D. (author), Biely, Katharina (author), Kamp, L.M. (author), de Vries, G. (author)The installation of solar panels by residential households is vital for the energy transition. However, the rapid uptake of solar panels by households leads to congestion in the electricity grid. Specifically, when the sun shines, these solar panels simultaneously produce a lot of electricity that is fed into the grid, which is inefficient and...journal article 2024

Kantorowicz, Jaroslaw (author), Kantorowicz-Reznichenko, Elena (author), de Vries, G. (author)In democratic societies, governments cannot act in isolation from public opinion. This is especially true regarding terrorism, where public perception is the instrument targeted by terrorists to achieve their political goals. Nevertheless, governments must also be able to resist public pressure and preserve individual rights. All this suggests...journal article 2023

de Vries, G. (author)Climate change is one of the biggest global challenges the earth faces. It comes with a need to change the way we produce, supply, distribute and use energy. For this energy transition, we not only need money and technology, we also need a change in behaviour on multiple levels. Psychological perspectives, theories, and research methods are...journal article 2023

Paulus, D. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Van de Walle, Bartel (author)The complex and uncertain environment of the humanitarian response to crises can lead to data bias, which can affect decision-making. Evidence of data bias in crisis information management (CIM) remains scattered despite its potentially significant impact on crisis response. To understand what biases emerge in complex crises and how they affect...journal article 2023

He, S. (author), Qian, QK (author), de Vries, G. (author)In the built environment sector, enhancing energy efficiency through energy retrofitting is a key strategy to mitigate climate change. Despite the efforts made by local municipalities to offer technical and financial support, the rate of home energy retrofit remains low. The decision to undertake home energy retrofit is complex for homeowners....abstract 2023

Kácha, Ondřej (author), de Vries, G. (author)Public and private organisations have several instruments at hand to reduce consumer demand for energy. These instruments can take the form of information campaigns, various subsidy programs, or regulations to encourage consumers to adopt greener technology, develop energy-efficient habits or travel more sustainably. However, the well-intended...abstract 2023

Paulus, D. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Van de Walle, Bartel (author)A crisis requires the affected population, governments or non-profit organizations, as well as crisis experts, to make urgent and sometimes life-critical decisions. With the urgency and uncertainty they create, crises are particularly amenable to inducing cognitive biases that influence decisionmaking. However, there is limited empirical...journal article 2022

Hofman, Björn (author), de Vries, G. (author), van de Kaa, G. (author)Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of this century. To contain its effects, the way we act would have to change significantly. Especially in the building sector, much progress can be made. Attempts have been made to stimulate sustainable behavior in the industry, for example, by implementing sustainable building measures in...journal article 2022

Ebrahimigharehbaghi, S. (author), Qian, QK (author), de Vries, G. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The building sector can contribute considerably to reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the Netherlands, the GHG emissions must be mitigated by 95% by 2050 relative to the 1990 baseline. Various factors, such as low renovation rates cause uncertainties in reaching these targets. The current study aims for investigating the barriers...conference paper 2022

Biely, K. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Sareen, Siddharth (author), Bauwens, Thomas (author)Technological innovations are a key part of the energy transition. However, the social sphere as a force to facilitate the energy transition must not be neglected. While the socio-technical transition theory provides a framework to connect the technological with the social sphere, the role of the individuals within the transition process remains...journal article 2022
