Franken, V. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)In light of the current economic and political climate, the government retreats in many ways, also from the field of heritage protection. Other market parties are expected to step in. This has consequences for the requirements that are set for the overall usability and energy performance and resource use, of heritage buildings. Currently, the...conference paper 2013

Meijer, S.A. (author), Geelen, D.V. (author), Franken, V. (author), Kersten, W.C. (author), Crul, M.R.M. (author)One of the major challenges for sustainable resource use lies in the renovation of the existing building stock. Less than 1% of the total building stock in North-West Europe is renewed each year, which means that most gain has to be achieved by renovation of the existing building stock in combination with changes in behaviour by residents, the...conference paper 2013

Meijer, F.M. (author), Tambach, M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Home-owners are in principal responsible for maintaining the physical quality of their dwellings. It is in their own interest to do this in an adequate manner, but all kinds of constraints can and do occur in practice. Lack of financial means and insufficient (technical or practical) knowledge are only two of the possible barriers. The quality...conference paper 2012

Meijer, S.A. (author)To facilitate innovation in transport systems there is a need for simulated environments to experiment with new configurations, ideas and solutions. Gaming simulation is such an environment, and this paper presents the approach applied in capacity allocation and traffic control innovation for the Dutch railways. Both hightech and low-tech games...conference paper 2012

Van den Hoogen, J. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Innovation at a railway network operator depends on the decision-making processes in the daily work of operational professionals and staff. This paper is about innovative measures at a railway network operator, required to increase capacity on the railway network without investing in expensive infrastructural extensions. Using field observations...conference paper 2012

Meijer, A. (author)Probe data from consumer GPS navigation devices provides a network-wide and costefficient data source for measuring vehicle movements, whereas experimental studies have been confined to small datasets. Data collection from road-side sensors can provide similar information but is expensive and requires high maintenance expenditures. This paper...conference paper 2012

Subrahmanian, E. (author), Reich, Y. (author), Smoders, F. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)Designing is a multi-dimensional phenomenon and is difficult to describe through one disciplinary research lens only. This paper uses a framework within which multiple theories of designing could be informed of their role and explanatory power. The Product space and Social Space framework describes the scope of designing activities and it allows...conference paper 2011

Costa Branco De Oliveira Pedro, J.A. (author), Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Building regulations set minimum requirements for safe, healthy, energy-efficient and accessible buildings. To guarantee that these requirements are applied, a building control system is indispensable. The trend towards a common market for construction products and services justifies gaining a better insight into the building control systems in...conference paper 2011

Subrahmanian, E. (author), Reich, Y. (author), Smulders, F.E.H.M. (author), Meijer, S.A. (author)This paper addresses the issue of ‘What is designing?’ from an unconventional perspective and aims to advance our understanding of what design really is. Designing has been studied from different perspectives but the underlying theoretical basis of studying the act has often been dispersed and not clear. To address these shortcomings, the paper...conference paper 2011

Tambach, M. (author), Meijer, F. (author), Visscher, H. (author)Dutch municipalities are faced with an ageing private housing stock, of which parts show a diversity of quality backlogs, including their energy quality. Dutch municipalities are in the process of developing a combination of communicative and economic policy instruments to seduce private homeowners to invest in their dwellings’ quality....conference paper 2011

Murphy, L.C. (author), Meijer, F.M. (author)The Netherlands like many European countries has issued ambitious national targets to achieve climate change goals. It is recognised that to achieve these goals the energy saving potential idling in the existing housing stock must be exploited. To date the Dutch response is largely defined by the typical national repertoire of policy instruments...conference paper 2011

Meijer, F. (author), Van den Broek, E.L. (author), Schouten, T.E. (author), Damgrave, R.G.J. (author), De Ridder, H. (author)In this paper, we explored the use of low fidelity Synthetic Environments (SE; i.e., a combination of simulation techniques) for product design. We explored the usefulness of low fidelity SE to make design problems explicit. In particular, we were interested in the influence of interactivity on user experience. For this purpose, an industrial...conference paper 2010

Costa Branco De Oliveira Pedro, J.A. (author), Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)The purpose of this paper is to compare technical building regulations in European Union (EU) countries. Three research questions are addressed: what are the main differences and similarities? what are the main types of organization and formulation? what are the main trends and developments? The following tasks were carried out in order to...conference paper 2010

Visscher, H.J. (author), Meijer, F.M. (author), Itard, L.C.M. (author)Since a few years the attention for building regulatory systems and enforcement procedures is growing. Various developments in society, politics and the construction industry have influenced changes in the systems of building control in the last 20 years. The influence of climate change and the related demands on buildings will have a very...conference paper 2010

Meijer, S.A. (author), Crul, M.R.M. (author), Van Timmeren, A. (author)Over time, humankind’s lifestyle became increasingly dependent on finite resources. It follows that such a system is unable to sustain itself indefinitely. Several studies show that in the near future the climate may radically change and oil production will peak. Changes in the natural environment will possibly be so overwhelming that man has to...conference paper 2010
