This OP was deployed in two phases, focusing on Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G). Its first phase took place at a private residence in Loughborough and ran from March 2017 up to December 2017. This phase 1 is also referred to as the ‘Loughborough pilot’. The second phase took place from …

The Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Assembly (D2RP&A) process developed at Delft University of Technology (DUT) has been scaled up to building size by prototyping of-site a 3.30 m high fragment of a larger spaceframe structure The fragment consists of wooden linear elements connected to a polymer node …

PV systems are used more and more. Not always is it possible to install them in the optimal direction for maximum energy output over the year. At the Johan Cruijff ArenA the PV panels are placed all around the roof in all possible directions. Panels oriented to the north will have a lower energy gain …

The Johan Cruijff ArenA (JC ArenA) is a big events location in Amsterdam, where national and international football matches, concerts and music festivals take place for up to 68,000 visitors. The JC ArenA is already one of the most sustainable, multi-functional stadia in the world and is realizing even …

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease which is characterized by vasculopathy, tissue fibrosis and activation of the innate and adaptive immune system. Clinical features of the disease consists of skin thickening and internal organ involvement. Due to the heterogeneous nature of the disease …

Het klimaat op aarde verandert voortdurend. Door de wetenschap is vastgesteld dat de klimaatveranderingen sinds het pre-industriële (rond 1850) tijdperk met overgrote deel door de mens is veroorzaakt. Om de klimaatveranderingen van de aarde te verminderen is onder andere het zogenaamde klimaatakkoord …

In Nederland drijven steeds meer zonnepanelen op het water. Kennis omtrent het effect op de waterkwaliteit van deze zonneparken is echter beperkt. Praktijkmetingen onder de platforms zijn vaak lastig uit te voeren. Er zijn onderwaterdrones ingezet met sensoren en camera’s. Deze praktijkmetingen zijn …

This paper aims to quantify the cumulative damage of unreinforced masonry (URM) subjected to induced seismicity. A numerical model based on discrete element method (DEM) has been develop and was able to represented masonry wall panels with and without openings; which are common typologies of domestic …

Een verticaal opgesteld zonnepaneel, gericht op het zuiden, produceert per jaar in Nederland ongeveer 70% van de elektriciteit die een scheef (hoek 35 graden) opgesteld paneel produceert. De productie van het verticaal opgestelde paneel is evenwel gelijkmatiger over het jaar verdeeld, past daardoor beter …
