Weston, M. (author), Greenberg, D. (author)The paper describes a novel technique for creating flat, bi-layer, compliant mechanisms for adaptive building components to be used in solar shading. Micro-actuation of these periodic, flexible devices cause innumerable three-dimensional micro-loops to erupt in the panel surface, permitting passage of diffused light while maintaining visual...conference paper 2013

Van Gurp, J.F.C. (author), Tichem, M. (author), Staufer, U. (author)Passive alignment of photonic components is an assembly method compatible with a high production volume. Its precision performance relies completely on the dimensional accuracies of geometrical alignment features. A tolerance analysis plays a key role in designing and optimizing these passive alignment features. The objective of this paper is to...conference paper 2011

Mlecnik, E. (author), Kaan, H. (author), Hodgson, G. (author)According to the popular definition, passive houses have to reach a target energy demand for heating less than 15 kWh per square meter and per year. This criterion is used as a basis for quality assurance procedures and certification of passive house projects. This paper identifies the experiences in several western European countries concerning...conference paper 2008

(author), Luscuere, P (author)This research gives an overview of the current comfort and energy performance, and optional future design of highly transparent and lightweight buildings. The transparent Co-Creation Centre in the Green Village at the TU Delft, has a combination of active and passive climate control measures. The aim of the research is to show how transparent...conference paper 2022

Wahi, P. (author), van den Ham, E.R. (author), Bilow, M. (author)Energy-efficient buildings tend to cause thermal discomfort due to overheating during summers. With the advent of climate change and increasing outdoor temperatures, the risk of overheating will be exacerbated. Henceforth, the building design must be future proof or robust for climate change. Passive design strategies applied to the building...conference paper 2022

Mlecnik, E. (author)The volume uptake of highly energy-efficient buildings is challenged by transformations in the energy system and the introduction of demand response strategies. In the near future buildings will be able to manage their demand and generation according to local climate conditions, user needs and variable energy prices. As buildings become...conference paper 2016

D'Aquilio, A. (author), Sileryte, R. (author), Yang, D. (author), Turrin, M. (author)In large sport’s buildings, a big part of energy can be saved by providing natural instead of mechanical ventilation. However, additional challenges arise while controlling airflow and temperatures in different zones. These measures<br/>highly depend on the shape, construction and ventilation openings, which are mostly decided in the early...conference paper 2016

Tsouvalas, A. (author), de Oliveira Barbosa, J.M. (author), Lourens, E. (author)Earthquakes induced by the gas extraction is a problem of serious concern in the northern part of The Netherlands. The earthquakes recorded to date can be classified as minor based on their maximum local magnitude (ML=3.6). However, (i) their shallow focus, (ii) the special in-situ soft soil conditions and (iii) the fact the building stock in...conference paper 2017

Yap, M.D. (author), van Oort, N. (author)More complex, efficient driver schedules reduce operator costs during undisrupted operations, but increase the disruption impact for passengers and operator once a disruption occurs. We develop an integrated framework to quantify the passenger and operator costs of disruptions explicitly as function of different driver schedule schemes. Since...conference paper 2018

Morales Beltran, M.G. (author), Turan, Gursoy (author), Yildirim, Umut (author)This article provides an analytical framework to assess the distribution of seismic energy in outrigger structures equipped with viscous dampers. The principle of damped outriggers for seismic control applications lies on the assumption that the total earthquake energy will be absorbed by the dampers, as the rest of the structure remains elastic...conference paper 2017

(author), Heinzelmann, Florian (author)In order to reduce the energy demand of households, a new type of Trombe wall is being designed during a ‘research through design project’ called ‘Double Face 2.0’. A Trombe wall is a passive system that reduces the energy demand of a building. In winter, it captures the heat from the sun during the day and releases this heat into the building...conference paper 2017

Cui, Z. (author), Fan, X. (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author)In this paper, we apply the Eshelby's solution to study the effect of passivation layer on electromigration (EM) failure in a conductor. The passivation layer is considered as an elastic material, not a rigid layer anymore. Thus, the deformation and stress evolution in the conductor during EM are related to the mechanical property of the...conference paper 2023
