Filippidou, F. (author)Worldwide, buildings consume a large part of the total energy delivered. In the context of all the end-use sectors, buildings represent the largest sector with 39% of the total final energy consumption, followed by transport in the EU (European Union ). Policy targets and regulations are in force at the EU level to ensure the energy efficiency...doctoral thesis 2018

Garay Garcia, Oscar (author), van Daalen, C. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), van Nuland, Bas (author), Mohammed, I.S. (author), Enserink, B. (author)Residential energy efficiency improvements often have a smaller effect than expected. Although there is agreement on the existence of this effect, called the rebound effect, there is no agreement on the size of the effect. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of using serious games to assess this effect. We used a game...conference paper 2018

Van Zoelen, E. (author)Smart thermostats like Toon are part of an overarching product category called Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS). These products provide consumers with feedback on their energy usage and consequently help them reduce their energy usage. Recently, energy companies have started offering these devices to their customers. The underlying...master thesis 2017

Filippidou, F. (author), Nieboer, N.E.T. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Energy renovations offer unique opportunities to increase the energy efficiency of the built environment and for the existing housing stock, they are the most important solution. Usually, energy savings are based on modelling calculations. However, recent research has shown that the predicted energy consumption differs largely from the actual...conference paper 2017

Zhang, A. (author), Sun, Y. (author), Huang, Qiong (author), Bokel, R.M.J. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)This paper discusses the energy impact of corridor design for school buildings in the cold climate of China. Local school buildings were classified into three types in terms of the corridor design patterns. Architectural related parameters of corridors which could have a potential impact on the energy consumption were summarized and discussed,...conference paper 2017

He, D. (author), Pang, Y. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author)Belt conveyors can be partially loaded due to the variation of bulk material flow loaded onto the conveyor. Speed control attempts to reduce the belt conveyor energy consumption and to enable the green operations of belt conveyors. Current research of speed control rarely takes the conveyor dynamics into account so that speed control lacks...journal article 2017

Tummers-Mueller, L.C. (author)Co-housing is the overall term for groups of households creating and managing their own living environment. From recent research on co-housing in EU member states it becomes clear that cohousing initiatives consider themselves as pioneers for energy-transition. Nevertheless, the value and contribution of co-housing initiatives to housing...conference paper 2016

Hoppe, T. (author), Coenen, Frans (author)REScoops are well positioned to spur energy savings among householders and generate investment in renewable energy projects. As compared to other agents in energy markets they have many benefits, particularly their embeddedness in local, social structures. In this paper we explore in which ways, and by using which tools and interventions...conference paper 2016
