(author), van den Ham, E.R. (author), Wang, Jingxia (author)The adaptive control of sunlight through photochromic smart windows could have a huge impact on the energy efficiency and daylight comfort in buildings. However, the fabrication of inorganic nanoparticle and polymer composite photochromic films with a high contrast ratio and high transparency/low haze remains a challenge. Here, a solution...journal article 2024

Meng, Weihao (author), Kragt, A.J.J. (author), Hu, Xiaowen (author), van der Burgt, Julia S. (author), Schenning, Albertus P.H.J. (author), Yue, Yuchen (author), Zhou, Guofu (author), Li, Yong (author), Wang, Jingxia (author)Photochromic smart windows have drawn increasing attention as an approach to improve building energy efficiency and enhance indoor daylight comfort. However, existing photochromic smart windows still block sunlight from entering the room on sunny winter days, causing additional energy consumption for heating. Herein, a dual-mode smart window...journal article 2024

Zorello, Ligia Maria Moreira (author), Bliek, L. (author), Troia, Sebastian (author), Guns, Tias (author), Verwer, S.E. (author), Maier, Guido (author)The 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) virtualization aims to improve network quality and lower the operator's costs. One of its main features is the functional split, i.e., dividing the instantiation of RAN baseband functions into different units over metro-network nodes. However, its optimal placement is non-trivial: it depends on the...journal article 2022

Meijer, F.M. (author)Requirements on the sustainable quality (e.g. energy performance) of new and existing buildings are one of the pillars building regulatory systems of European countries are founded on. The influence of EU policy goals and contents of EU Directives in the energy regulations of the Member States is clearly noticeable. The European Union has set...conference paper 2017

Mlecnik, E. (author)Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore innovation adoption theory and to define a model to investigate operational activities and communication in innovation networks that can stimulate both supply and demand. It also aims to exemplify this model with the activities of an innovation network dedicated to promoting passive houses....journal article 2016

Visscher, H.J. (author)The urgent need for a dramatic reduction of fossil fuels in the built environment is without any doubt. The energy saving potential of the building stock is considered to be large and to be the most cost efficient sector to contribute to the CO2 reductions. Goals set by the European Union are to build net zero energy buildings in 2020 and to...conference paper 2015

Meijer, F.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Owners are responsible to maintain their own dwellings in an adequate manner. In practice however all kinds of constraints occur. Lack of financial means and insufficient (technical or practical) knowledge are the most important barriers. Because the quality of owner-occupied housing exceeds the individual interest; there are also general...conference paper 2015

Raji, B. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Van den Dobbelsteen, A. (author)Scarcity of resources and environmental issues caused by human activities stimulate designers and policy makers to search for energy efficient strategies for sustainable development. A considerable amount of energy consumption and CO2 emission comes from the building sector which today accounts for 40% of the world’s energy use. Greenery systems...journal article 2015
