Ayaz, Melih (author)Urban energy systems are the key elements of combating the climate crisis as the energy transition is crucial to curb greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas, one of the main drivers of climate change. As such, there is a great effort in Amsterdam to phase out natural gas use by 2040, and to become carbon neutral by 2050. It is a great challenge...master thesis 2022

Emmen, Jelle (author)Modern scientific research is highly specialised and concentrated on specific aspects of the scientist’s scientific field. However, when complex challenges arise, such as the sustainable energy transition, strong collaboration between scientific fields is required. Unfortunately, in many cases, these fields do not overlap, which causes...master thesis 2022

Emmen, Jelle (author)Many important life cycle assessment elements are left out of current energy energy transition evaluation methods, making it impossible to conduct a neutral and long-term assessment of the highly complicated energy transition. Consequently, chosen strategies cannot truly ensure long-term sustainable development due to the emergence of new...master thesis 2022

van Hattum, Sophie (author)By 2050 the municipality of Amsterdam plans to become climate neutral. The historic city center of Amsterdam poses a challenge in this ambition, as it is home to numerous monumental buildings. Conservation is the starting point for the renovation of monumental buildings and consequently additional regulations are in place. Furthermore, each...master thesis 2021

Balakrishnan, Shriya (author)The built environment is the largest energy consumer in the European Union in which the non-domestic sector accounts for 13% of the total energy consumption and the office buildings account for 50% of the energy consumption. The office buildings in the Netherlands exhibit poor energy performance and thermal comfort. There is an urgent need to...master thesis 2021

Patidar, Yamini (author)In the Netherlands, the residential buildings consume the highest percentage of primary energy among the various building sectors. With around 80% of the Dutch housing built before 1995 a huge portion of the energy share is tapped in the old housing stock. While new housing constructions had to be nearly energy neutral as of 2020, a large...master thesis 2021

Jiang, Lincheng (author)Design of elderly care buildings like nursing homes usually looks for balances between the livability for residents and the circulation efficiency for staffs and workers. Losing the balance between these two has the potential of either dissatisfying residents, uncomfortable living experiences, or causing low efficiency in operations, which might...master thesis 2020

Rouwenhorst, Tessa (author)The MOR prototype is a smart passive building with a central building management system to control and optimise the operation of the active and passive building systems and therefore reduce the energy consumption of the building and improve the users comfort conditions (MOR Team, 2019b). During the competition, the systems in the prototype were...master thesis 2020

Moumdjian, S. (author)In the Netherlands, the building sector accounts for more than one third of the total primary energy consumption. In response, new regulations, BENG 2020, are implemented and applied to all new constructions as of the 1st of July 2020. Regarding the high-rise typology that is known for its extensive energy consumption, those regulations present...master thesis 2020

Rijsterborgh, R. (author)A building manager of a small monument in Alkmaar wants to give the monument a new function as a restaurant. His idea is to place a glass structure over his monument, like a huge cheese bell, in Alkmaar as a famous cheese city. The main question that is central in this research is: “How can a full glass dome structure be built, to cover ‘Het...master thesis 2020

Elands, Tom (author)Temperatures are increasing all around the world due to climate change and are predicted to continue to rise in the future. This rise in temperature is worrying especially for urban areas around the world that already suffer from increased temperature due to the urban heat island effect. In order to adapt to these changes buildings often get...master thesis 2020

Vos, Jurjen (author)Mycelium composites are a novel material type. Mycelium is the ‘root’-network of a fungus and can be used to grow shapes on substrates of agricultural waste fibres. A few designs exist that use the material and information on material properties is limited. The goal of this thesis is to find out how mycelium composites can be produced, designed...master thesis 2020

Koenes, Thomas (author)In 2013, national agreements have been made to stimulate a healthy and sustainable growth of the Dutch society and economy. These agreements include that, on average, all buildings need a label A by 2030. However, the calculated energy savings for all energy labels do not correspond with the actual energy savings, which is partly due to user...master thesis 2019
