Presentatie op de warmtetransitiedag 2026 van de Provincie Groningen, over het thema Koeling in het warmteprogramma.De presentatie gaat in op comfort en oplossingen voor woningen: airco en warmtepompen met toevoegingen.

Forecasting the thermal behavior of flexible heating assets is essential for real-time energy management in heating systems. While thermal dynamics are complex, the optimization algorithms within energy management systems (EMS) require low-order models with minimal computational load to make rapid, real-time …

Awareness of climate change and stricter emission regulations have accelerated the search for sustainable energy solutions. A central goal is carbon-neutral energy use, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions while ensuring reliable energy supply. In applications with limited grid access—such as festivals, …

This century, greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen oxides must be significantly reduced. Greenhouse gases absorb and emit infrared radiation that contributes to global warming, which can lead to irreversible negative consequences for humans and the environment. Greenhouse …

Urbanisation and climate change intensify urban heat stress, threatening public health, urban liveability, and equity (IPCC, 2022; Ebi et al., 2021; Böcker & Thorsson, 2014). Vulnerable populations—such as those with limited mobility, low incomes, or health conditions increasing heat stress susceptibility—bear …

"In education, acquiring digital skills is becoming increasingly important. At the same time, the possibilities of MS Excel in technical fields are endless. Combining these two aspects shows us how fun and engaging it can be to have students perform simulation calculations in Excel. The principle of …

A key component of the energy transition in the Netherlands is the heat transition: heating homes and buildings using sustainable energy sources. The ambition in the Dutch climate agreement (Government of the Netherlands, 2019) is to make 1.5 million homes sustainable by 2030. To achieve this goal, per …

The Dutch heat transition requires a highly context-specific approach. Diverse stakeholders -such as housing corporations, network operators, and residents, must collaborate closely at a neighbourhood level to realise plans. A Dutch study offers insights into professional skills that participants in …

The visibility of sustainable energy measures is a channel of social influence, a means of conspicuous consumption, and affects the aesthetics of an environment. This study investigates how the visibility of sustainable household energy measures (i.e., installation of renewable energy and energy efficient …

Rabobank organiseert in samenwerking met ENTRANCE een Masterclass over de laatste ontwikkelingen rondom batterijopslag voor overtollige energie. Batterijen zijn essentieel voor energieopslag. Tijdens deze Masterclass bespreken we de nieuwste ontwikkelingen en praktijkvoorbeelden van batterijopslag. We …
