Siamopoulos, E. (author)
The aim of this thesis, is to explore the design possibilities of a glass folded plate facade, in which glass is understood as a planar structural element. This design is proposed having in mind the way the folded plate principle, stiffens the facade against buckling and lateral wind load, having an even distribution of the flow of forces. In...

The goal to achieve energy neutral buildings in 2020 is getting closer. To achieve energy neutral buildings, not only new buildings have to be innovative, also the existing building stock has to be improved in terms of energy efficiency. Besides that, the occupants have to be involved in this process too, in the end they have to use the façade...

The starting point of the research is the need to refurbish existing residential building stock, in order to reduce its energy demand, which is a necessary step to reach the ambitious energy and decarbonisation targets for 2020 and 2050 that require an eventual reduction up to 90% in CO2 emissions. In this context, the rate and depth of...

In this graduation research the life cycle energy (embodied and operational energy) of a refurbishment project is researched by means of a literature study and a case study design. A design approach is made to make the life cycle energy as low as possible for the case study, an existing post-war residential building in Utrecht. The focus of the...

In what way would a façade be able to create a comfortable indoor office environment using only the indoor and outdoor environment as its energy sources? The low (average) outdoor temperatures in The Netherlands suggest that the outdoor climate is cold enough to cool the indoor climate through ventilation with fresh outdoor air without resorting...

Klein, T. (author)
Curtain wall constructions are one of the most applied facade constructions today. Independently attached to the primary load bearing structure of the building they protect the building’s interior from external climate conditions and allow great design freedom. With continuously rising requirements in terms of energy savings the constructional...

Raghunath, P. (author)
The building industry in the developing countries, today, is confused between technological developments and the vernacular. The values imbibed in tradition, and colonial hegemony in India have had deep impacts in the psychological perception of the vernacular. Unfortunately, in today’s circumstances, where in population explosion and rapid...

Dwelling in the urban context makes it very necessary to deal with the aspect of privacy next to the public domain. Dwelling is an activity that takes place in both, the private and the public, the interior and the exterior spaces. The interface of the dwelling is the place where the transition from interior to exterior (and vice versa) takes...

Overkleeft, J. (author)
The report of Graduation Project from Jasper Overkleeft, is a quest for a new facade material with the focus on a mono material facade. This will contain that all the functions of the facade will be integrated in one material. It means that what normally a cavity wall will do, protect the inner climate from cooling or heating too much, keeping...

Design of a sun shading system which is optimized to generate as much energy as possible. This has been done by calculating the optimal size and positioning of the slats. The user also played a central role in the design process. Not only the design of the slats is innovative, also the way they are connected to the glass facade. This is done by...
