Heiskanen, E. (author), Feenstra, C.F.J. (author), Johnson, M. (author)CHANGING BEHAVIOUR is a project that aims to support change in energy use and energy services. We do so by applying social research on technological change to practical use. Our focus is on the interaction between energy experts and energy users: How can these different groups learn to understand each other better? Another focus is the role of...conference paper 2010

Heiskanen, E. (author), Feenstra, C.F.J. (author), Johnson, M. (author), Vadovics, E. (author)European energy policy aims to shift the European energy market toward an increased focus on energy services based on end-user needs. This requires a close understanding of the role of end-users and their needs and practices. Our paper is based on a EU FP7 project called CHANGING BEHAVIOUR and focuses on interaction between energy users and...conference paper 2010

Breukers, S. (author), Backhaus, J. (author), Mourik, R. (author), Hodson, M. (author), Marvin, S. (author), Brohmann, B. (author)The history of energy demand side management (DSM) projects shows that accomplishing lasting energy-behavioural changes is difficult. The CHANGING BEHAVIOUR project aims at a better understanding of energy-related behavioural change, in order to improve the DSM practice. The approach is one of continuous interaction between researchers and...conference paper 2010

Thijssen, G.J. (author), Schott, D.L. (author), Demmink, E.W. (author), Lodewijks, G. (author)In the field of bulk solids, handling knowledge on moisture behaviour in aggregate stockpiles can be useful for process optimisation in terms of energy consumption. In the asphalt industry, an increase in moisture content leads to a significant increase in energy consumption. To determine the characteristics of moisture behaviour, correlations...journal article 2010

Visscher, H.J. (author), Mlecnik, E. (author)For newly built houses national ambitions prescribe increasing levels of energy performances, even including achieving net zero energy or carbon neutral houses. This is in large contrast with the lack of quality in many building processes. The building regulations, processes and control will have to be reshaped to support these ambitions, taking...conference paper 2009

Landsbergen, P. (author)Dutch households are responsible for a significant part of the total Dutch energy consumption and CO2 emissions. One option for decreasing household energy consumption and CO2 emissions is to deploy micro-combined-heat-power (?CHP) units. A micro-CHP virtual power plant (VPP) is a cluster of grid connected ?CHP units that is monitored and...master thesis 2009

Van Reisen, J.L.B. (author)Process plants have high energy consumption. Much energy can be saved by a proper design of the heat exchanger network, which contains the main heat transferring equipment of the plant. Existing plants can often be made more energy-efficient by a retrofit: the (physical) modification of the equipment and piping in the heat exchanger network....doctoral thesis 2008
