Konstantinou, T. (author), Armijos Moya, T.E. (author), Cetin, M. Yuksel (author), Tsikos, M. (author), Eguiarte, O. (author), Arregi, B. (author)The renovation of buildings has a high capacity to influence the environmental impacts and global objectives of climate change mitigation. In the context of designing low-energy buildings with minimized environmental impacts, the life cycle assessment (LCA) has been proven a straightforward method, to evaluate the direct and indirect...journal article 2023

Sterken, Sven (author), Pohl, D. (author)International organisations and global governance studies typically refer to “architecture” as the structures of decision-making, power distribution, or financial flows. This position paper challenges this conventional understanding by delving into its primary meaning—the built environment. It charts ways in which architectural design,...journal article 2023

Kotter, Rik (author)This study aimed to analyze the decision-making process and criteria of angel group members. These factors form the basis of the final decision of a member when they decide whether or not to invest in a start-up. To investigate this topic, the factors that affect member decision-making are investigated when these members receive a pre-validated...master thesis 2022

Scott, Michael J. (author), Verhagen, W.J.C. (author), Bieber, M.T. (author), Marzocca, Pier (author)In recent decades, the increased use of sensor technologies, as well as the increase in digitalisation of aircraft sustainment and operations, have enabled capabilities to detect, diagnose, and predict the health of aircraft structures, systems, and components. Predictive maintenance and closely related concepts, such as prognostics and health...journal article 2022

Mauri, A. (author), Tocchetti, A. (author), Corti, L. (author), Hsu, Y. (author), Verma, H. (author), Brambilla, Marco (author)Traditional approaches to data-informed policymaking are often tailored to specific contexts and lack strong citizen involvement and collaboration, which are required to design sustainable policies. We argue the importance of empathy-based methods in the policymaking domain given the successes in diverse settings, such as healthcare and...conference paper 2022

Arango, E.A. (author), Santamaria, Monica (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), Sousa, Helder S. (author), Matos, Jose C. (author)Assessing flood risks on road infrastructures is critical for the definition of mitigation strategies and adaptation processes. Some efforts have been made to conduct a regional flood risk assessment to support the decision-making process of exposed areas. However, these approaches focus on the physical damage of civil infrastructures without...conference paper 2022

Lang, D. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author)An Advanced Irrigation-Related Agent-Based Model (AIRABM) of farmers' decision-making mechanism and feedback among farmers is developed. The model explores the interactions among human and non-human agents in the irrigation system. In this paper, we discuss harvest patterns as they result from more equal or unequal water distribution in the...journal article 2022

van Rijn, Sophie (author)In the Netherlands, the frequency and severity of extreme rainfall events are expected to increase. This can result in severely detrimental effects. It is complicated for municipal actors to effectively manage these events, as it requires judgement on probabilities, costs, and uncertain impacts. As a result, obtaining scientific knowledge...master thesis 2021
