Pelka, S. (author)The potential of households to adapt their energy use to the conditions of the energy system remains largely untapped due to shortcomings in consumer governance (i.e., the organization of household energy use). A lack of price signals and services leads to uncoordinated household energy use. Various proposals exist for updating consumer...doctoral thesis 2024

Siegers, Annelot (author)The Protestant Evangelical religion is defined by its focus on spreading the gospel. Evangelical churches do not consider their churches as sacred, but rather as spaces for worship and community. Consequently, their architectural church designs deviate from traditional church designs. This thesis explores the architectural development of...student report 2024

Alkharraa, H.S.H. (author)Oil exploitation of tight reservoirs has gained significant importance lately. Some researchers have defined tight reservoirs as those characterized with permeability lower than 0.1 mD. However, permeability is an absolute value, and tight reservoirs have complex pore systems that require a detailed geological and petrophysical rock...doctoral thesis 2024

Memović, Samir (author)This study explores the use and demand for offices in the Netherlands in 2050. Employees and employers have not found a balance in hybrid working, resulting in significant hidden vacancy. This refers to office space that is leased but not utilized, leading to ineffective office management. Real estate managers lack a guide to formulate a future...master thesis 2024

Piccini, Pietro (author)ncentive-based demand response (iDR) programs serve as important tools for distributed system operators (DSOs) to achieve a reduction in electricity demand during periods of grid overload. During these programs, participants can decide to curtail their consumption in exchange for financial incentives. Deciding the amount of curtailment for a...master thesis 2024

Liezenga, A. M. (author), Verma, T. (author), Mayaud, J. R. (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)As cities grow, the benefits of living in them are increasingly unequally distributed. USA cities, in particular, have experienced rapid suburbanization of poverty and decreased levels of access to jobs for transit-dependent and vulnerable communities. The public transit challenges in suburbs call for innovative forms of transit to turn the...journal article 2024

Pelka, S. (author), Kesselring, Anne (author), Preuß, Sabine (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)Aligning prosumers' electricity consumption to the availability of self-generated electricity decreases CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and costs. Nudges are proposed as one behavioral intervention to orchestrate such changes. At the same time, fragmented findings in the literature make it challenging to identify suitable behavioral interventions...journal article 2024
