The transition period in the dairy cow should be closely monitored by farmers as it has a major influence on future lactation. The dairy cow faces a negative energy balance just after calving as she needs more calories than she takes in from her diet. Supplementation with amino acids and methyl donors …

The emission of greenhouse gasses is a trending subject worldwide. Also the maritime industry is looking for alternative options for zero-emission transport. Nedstack provides fuel cells as a solution for this challenge. This research is a first glance at the possibilities to create a feasible retrofit …

This Powerpoint is part of the project Twomes. This deliverable contains a presentation about the heat balance model and inverse-grey-box analysis tools that support automated estimation of crucial parameters of buildings, installations and comfort needs in individual homes and utility buildings based …

Solar Boat, the project was born in 2009 by a group of enthusiastic students of mixed educational backgrounds who wanted to fill their free composition course points in a special, more meaningful way. They came in contact with DTIW and established an agreement of what they could offer each other, eventually …

In practice, faults in building installations are seldom noticed because automated systems to diagnose such faults are not common use, despite many proposed methods: they are cumbersome to apply and not matching the way of thinking of HVAC engineers. Additionally, fault diagnosis and energy performance …

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 …

In opdracht van EnTranCe wordt een hackaton georganiseerd tijdens de scholenchallenge waarbij een energieplan moet worden opgeleverd waarin de eigen middelbare school van de deelnemers ingezet wordt als energiehub voor de omgeving. In dit energieplan moet naar voren komen in welke mate de school een …

The Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) sector is responsible for a large part of the total worldwide energy consumption, a significant part of which is caused by incorrect operation of controls and maintenance. HVAC systems are becoming increasingly complex, especially due to multi-commodity …

District heating (DH) has a major potential to increase the efficiency, security, and sustainability of energy management at the community scale. However, there is a huge challenge for decision makers due to the lack of knowledge about thermal energy demand during a year.  https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/14/17/546 …
