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 …

With the effects of climate change linked to the use of fossil fuels, as well as the prospect of their eventual depletion, becoming more noticeable, political establishment and society appear ready to switch towards using renewable energy. Solar power and wind power are considered to be the most significant …

: To have sustainable societies, we need to accelerate the energy transition towards clean energy solutions, however, awareness and understanding of the process is still limited, especially among young people. In addition, the topic has mainly been approached from an engineering angle, ignoring the social …

Anthocyanins do not have a toxic effect, they are safe for humans, and they are of interest as natural dyes. They are used in the food industry, cosmetics, perfumery and medicine. Nowadays, the question of the use of anthocyanins in solar cells is being widely considered. Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) …

Verticale zonnepanelen verdienen andere subsidievoorwaarden binnen de Stimuleringsregeling Duurzame Energie (SDE+) omdat de stroomproductie gelijkmatiger over het jaar verdeeld is. Dit ontlast het elektriciteitsnet.

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 …

One potential renewable energy resource is green gas production through anaerobic digestion (AD). However, only part of the biogas produced (up to 50-60%) contains the combustible methane; the remainder are incombustible gasses with the biggest being carbon dioxide. These gasses are often not used and …

Urban areas are growing faster and in many cases create a fragmented landscape, threatening biodiversity. There are numerous organisms that can adapt to urbanization, such as insects. Multiple studies show a worldwide decline in their numbers. Insects are indispensable because of their important ecosystem …
