De term ‘warmtewerend’ doet al geruime tijd de ronde binnen het werkveld van hittestress en stedelijke klimaatadaptatie, en is inmiddels in beleid van veel gemeenten en provincies opgenomen. Steeds vaker worden warmtewerende oppervlakken expliciet benoemd als belangrijk middel om hittestress in stedelijke …

Circular, biobased, and modular construction practices are gaining traction as cities seek to reduce the environmental impact of the built environment. However, little is known about how these strategies affect construction logistics and their associated emissions. We develop an agent-based model to …

In het Maintenance Lab van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam (HvA) laten lector Jurjen Helmus en zijn team zien hoe digital twins helpen om onderhoud slimmer te maken en energie te besparen. "Een digital twin is niet een 3D-plaatje waar je omheen kunt lopen. Dat is een marketing verhaal. Je moet kunnen simuleren …

A summary of requirements for (waste-)wood to be used in CLT, completed with explanation of how to inspect these required properties and recognize wood defects.

Wood is an increasingly demanded renewable resource and an important raw material for construction and materials. Demands are rising, with a growing attention for re-use and upcycling, opening up opportunities for new business models, empowered by the use of digital design and technologies. A KPI framework …

Across cities and urban regions in The Netherlands unusual collaborations emerge which aim to develop new circular business models that facilitate product and resource longevity through various upcycling strategies, such as reuse, repair, refurbish, repurpose and/or remanufacture. Municipalities, social …

Repurpose is becoming more popular as a circularity strategy. This circularity strategy is specifically promising in the case of furniture. One of the challenges of upscaling repurpose is the negative consumer perception of repurposed products. Studies up to date pertain to consumer perception of refurbished …

Urban areas provide a promising context for upcycling due to the concentration of consumers and existence of bulky waste resources. Hence, upcycling initiatives emerge across European cities, but little is known about their manifestations. Building on interviews with twenty-four stakeholders from the …

This paper investigates smart charging strategies for battery-electric construction machinery (non-road mobile machinery, NRMM) through a case study of a large-scale housing project in The Hague, Netherlands. The study develops a methodology to estimate energy demands and simulate charging profiles during …
