The construction and demolition is a resource intensive sector, with Construction and Demolition Wastes (CDWs) considered as the largest waste streams accounting for 374 million tonnes in Europe. Although the 70% target for material recovery of CDWs set in the European Union Waste Directive Framework …

Hevige regen, droogte, hitte en storm - door klimaatverandering zullen we hier vaker mee te maken krijgen. Ook op bedrijventerreinen is dit merkbaar. Denk aan wateroverlast, te warme werkplekken, bloedhete parkeerplaatsen of machines die oververhit raken. Eind januari zaten we bij Donker Groep in Sneek …

Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) is the main driver of resource consumption and waste generation in Europe. Although most European countries achieved 70% recovery rate of CDW, the majority is used for backfilling. Therefore, opportunities for Circular Economy (CE) practices in CDW management are …

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is the most important waste stream in the EU in terms of mass, with around 340 million tonnes between 2010 and 2018 (EEA, 2020). Most member states achieved a recovery target of 70% for this fraction, however, it is mainly based on backfilling or downcycling. Materials …

SuDS DNA citiesClimateScan is an open source interactive web-based map application for international knowledge exchange on 'blue-green' (BGI) / NBS / SUDS projects around the globe. Key objectives include urban resilience, climate proofing and climate adaptation. Between 2014 and 2017 (Boogaard et al …

This study sought to comprehensively examine the complex relationship between de-icing substances and asphalt pavement, with an emphasis on understanding how freeze-thaw cycles and various deicers affect infrastructure performance and longevity. The primary focus was centered around strengthening understanding …

This presentation presented 2 examples of analysing and visualisations of ClimateScan platform data. Analysing the open-source Change Adaptation Platform ClimateScan shows that surface bio filtration is the category with most uploads, which is the case in Riga (started green infrastructure around 2020) …

In 2024 the Low Impact Development Devices (LID) open-source international database ClimateScan consist of over 14.000 climate adaption related projects uploaded in the period of 2014–2024. For cities with over 500 projects, this offers an opportunity to construct a LID-DNA of the city. LID-DNA presents …
