De klimaatverandering dwingt tot een versnelling van de energietransitie. Een stad als Amsterdam heeft hierin hoge ambities. Het lectoraat Energie & Innovatie werkt hieraan mee door technologische interventies te onderzoeken en ontwerpen.Een zeer innovatieve interventie is een energiepositief gebied. …

Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are potential high-impact climate change mitigation actions towards low carbon or even climate neutral cities. This implies that the energy performance and greenhouse gas emissions of PEDs need to be assessed. To this end, an accounting methodology, metrics, supporting …

Global climate agreements call for action and an integrated perspective on mobility, energy and overall consumption. Municipalities in dense, urban areas are challenged with facilitating this transition with limited space and energy resources, and with future uncertainties. One important aspect of the …

The sustainable energy transition asks for new and innovative solutions in the way society, government, energy market and clients (end users) approach energy distribution and consumption.

Deze publicatie beschrijft de aanpak en de tools die ontwikkeld zijn in het RiRa: Amstel III project, dat de totstandkoming van een open warmte en koudenet in Amstel III onderzocht.

The Netherlands is aiming for the roll-out of more solar PV. However like many densely populated countries, the country is running into issues of lack of space. Opportunities around infrastructural works like highways provide space without compromising the landscape. Examples of this double use are already …

The need to reduce carbon emissions calls for more use of renewable generation, particularly distributed resources. The intermittency of renewable generation, and concerns about energy security, require us to become more independent of central grid operation by use of local or regional (micro-grid) electricity …
