Concepts to protect wood from factors like ultraviolet (UV) radiation, water and wood-decaying fungi with the help of fungi exist in different variants. The idea to treat wood with the help of linseed oil and the living fungus Aureobasidium pullulans originated in 1996 during an European project assessing …

Dark homogenous fungal-based layers called biofinishes and vegetable oils are key ingredients of an innovative wood protecting system. The aim of this study was to determine which of the vegetable oils that have been used to generate biofinishes on wood will provide carbon and energy for the biofinish-inhabiting …

Na het energiegebruik voor apparatuur is verlichting vaak de belangrijkste energiepost van industriegebouwen, dus bij verduurzaming van industriegebouwen speelt verlichting een belangrijke rol. Vervanging van traditionele (tl-)verlichting door led levert vaak 50 tot 70% besparing op. Daarbij is diezelfde …

The adaptivity of façades is increasingly recognized as an important functional feature to be integrated with the state-of–the-art building technology. The aim is thereby to control its reversible system states in real-time to adapt to current indoor and outdoor conditions. Concepts reported elsewhere …

During the last decades, a great number of innovative building envelope materials and façade compo- nents have been developed. The majority of these technologies promise significant improvements in en- ergy efficiency and occupant’s comfort, with products that are easily available in the market. However, …

gains and internal gains from appliances,heat gains from occupants are an importantsource contributing to space heating indomestic buildings. It is necessary toconsciously consider all of these heat gainswhen aiming at accurately estimating theheat loss coefficient (HLC) of a building.Whilst sensor technology …

In 2050 moeten alle woningen van het gas af. Dat is een grote opgave! Daarom heeft ons lectoraat Sustainable Building Technology & Material (SBTM) samen met Domijn en Pioneering de handen ineengeslagen met het project “Compartimenteren woningen met binnen isolatie op maat”. Ook benieuwd hoe deze slimme …
