De Jong, P. (author), Arkesteijn, M.H. (author)There is a gap between investment and operating costs of public school buildings in the Netherlands. This gap is caused by separated responsibility for the financing of the accommodation for the primary and secondary schools. Municipalities finance the initial costs of construction of these schools and school boards are responsible for the...conference paper 2013

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

Zhang, A. (author), Bokel, R.M.J. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), Sun, Y. (author), Huang, Qiong (author), Zhang, Qi (author)This paper discusses the role of geometry parameters including building shape, window to wall ratio, room depth, and orientation on the energy use and thermal comfort of school buildings in cold climates of China. The annual total energy demand and summer thermal discomfort time were compared through computer simulations with DesignBuilder....journal article 2017

Straub, A. (author), Frankena, Kevin (author)Property owners are being forced to increase the energy efficiency of their buildings. Besides energy efficiency the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) of a larger part of Dutch primary school buildings is insufficient. This affects the performance, productivity and health of students and staff, and additionally has monetary consequences for...journal article 2018

Blank, J.L.T. (author)Building operations and construction are responsible for a large part of global energy use and carbon dioxide emissions. In this paper, we present an analysis of the efficiency and productivity of the provision of school buildings by Dutch municipalities. A cost function is estimated for the years 2005–2016 using stochastic frontier methods...journal article 2021

Pedone, Livio (author), Bianchi, S. (author), Giovinazzi, Sonia (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)When dealing with seismic risk assessment at a large scale, the collection of relevant building data is still deemed a challenging task, often leading to limited building knowledge and, consequently, high uncertainties. Therefore, innovative yet standardized frameworks and adaptive tools are needed to support the seismic risk assessment of...journal article 2022
