Mazzoni, Filippo (author), Blokker, E.J.M. (author), Alvisi, Stefano (author), Franchini, Marco (author)An accurate estimation of residential end uses of water is helpful in developing efficient water systems. If not obtainable through direct metering, this information can be gathered by disaggregating and classifying household-level water-use data. However, most automated techniques require fine-resolution data (e.g., 1 s) and end-use...journal article 2024

Noll, B.L. (author)Floods appear in many of the world's oldest stories (i.e. Noah and the Arc in the Abrahamic religions, Manu in Hinduism, and the Gun-Yu myth in Chinese mythology). When observed historically, they often have an element of mysticism about them, symbolizing eradication and rebirth. In the present, however, there is little that is mystical about...doctoral thesis 2023

Johne, C. (author), Schröder, E. (author), Ward, H. (author)The high level of nitrogen emissions over the last decades and their adverse impact on the natural environment and human health are a pressing environmental issue. A nitrogen tax can be a cost-efficient and effective policy instrument to reduce nitrogen emissions. However, adverse effects on low- and middle-income households might lead to...journal article 2023

Hu, Yang (author), van Wee, G.P. (author), Ettema, Dick (author)Featuring the most direct and closest social relationships, the household plays a crucial role in influencing an individual's wants, needs, and behavior. However, the role of intra-household decisions in the connection between the built environment and activity-travel behavior has not been systematically analyzed. This paper adds to the...review 2023

Conradie, Peter (author), Van Hove, Stephanie (author), Pelka, S. (author), Karaliopoulos, Merkouris (author), Anagnostopoulos, Filippos (author), Brugger, Heike (author), Ponnet, Koen (author)Reducing heating-related energy consumption is vital in Europe, where it accounts for a significant portion of domestic energy usage. We studied the factors that influence reduced heating-related consumption by using three theoretical frameworks: the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the Value Belief Norm theory, and the Prototype Willingness Model....journal article 2023

Endendijk, Thijs (author), Botzen, W. J. Wouter (author), de Moel, Hans (author), Aerts, Jeroen C. J. H. (author), Slager, Kymo (author), Kok, M. (author)Flood events are expected to increase in their frequency and severity, which results in higher flood risk without additional adaptation measures. The information gained from flood risk models is essential in effective disaster risk management. However, vulnerability estimations are often a large driver of uncertainty, and flood damage is...journal article 2023

Luteijn-Nava Guerrero, G.D.C. (author)In the Netherlands, a complex heat transition is taking place. Currently, the country's built environment largely relies on natural gas for heating. By 2050, the housing sector should, in principle, be free of this fuel. Changes in laws, policies, regulations, and technical solutions to achieve this goal will be challenging. Their implementation...doctoral thesis 2022

Experiences from Local Authorities Stimulating the Adoption of Low-Carbon Technologies by HomeownersMlecnik, E. (author)To meet carbon reduction goals, local authorities aim to achieve a market acceleration for owner-occupied singlefamily home renovations by increasing awareness of – and enabling access to – low-carbon technologies for homeowners in target areas. In this framework, this research summarizes and examines project experiences of seven local...poster 2022

Noll, B.L. (author), Filatova, T. (author), Need, Ariana (author)As climate change increases the probability and severity of natural hazards, the need for coordinated adaptation at all levels of society intensifies. Governmental-level adaptation measures are essential, but insufficient in the face of growing risks, necessitating complementary action from households. Apprehending the drivers of household...journal article 2022

Daniel, D. (author), Pande, S. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author)Endogeneity or reverse causality in regression analysis results in biased estimation of the effects of independent variables on the dependent variable and leads to inaccurate interpretations. However, the biased estimation of the effects of psychological factors on water–related behaviours are rarely discussed. This study investigated the...journal article 2022

Jonkman, Arend (author)This paper discusses the impact of the Dutch housing-policy reforms since 2011 in terms of housing opportunities for middle-income households in Amsterdam. The paper ends with a call to focus on securing affordable housing opportunities for different groups instead of a focus on market dynamism and responsiveness. While promoting affordable...report 2021

Daniel, D. (author), Pande, S. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author)Household water treatment (HWT) is one of the possible technologies to improve the quality of potable water in low–middle-income countries. However, many households still drink untreated water that leads to negative health consequences, highlighting the need for a behavioral study. This study explores the role of eight socio-economic...journal article 2021

Butsch, Carsten (author), Chakraborty, Shreya (author), Gomes, S.L. (author), Kumar, Shamita (author), Hermans, L.M. (author)India’s urbanisation results in the physical and societal transformation of the areas sur-rounding cities. These periurban interfaces are spaces of flows, shaped by an exchange of matter, people and ideas between urban and rural spaces—and currently they are zones in transition. Periur-banisation processes result inter alia in changing water...journal article 2021

Mashhoodi, B. (author), Stead, D. (author), van Timmeren, A. (author)It is widely accepted that land surface temperature (LST) affects household energy consumption (HEC). There is, however, no previous study available that clarifies whether LST's impact is similar in each and every area, or if it varies from one location to another. Analysing the impact of LST on HEC of 2612 residential zones of the...journal article 2020
