Post-war urban neighbourhoods in industrialised countries have been shown to negatively affect the lifestyles of their residents due to their design. This study aims at developing an empirical procedure to select locations to be redesigned and the determinants of health at stake in these locations, with …

From past experience, the municipality of Groningen (GRO) knows that citizen engagement is an essential aspect to execute any plans that imply change. In particular, district energy plans need citizen engagement the most to ensure successful execution. Both GRO and Grunneger Power (GPO) have first-hand …

Ovegenomen uit het tijdschrift HJK nr. 3 van november 2021, met toestemming van ThiemeMeulenhoff Spelend leren, een kernbegrip in het kleuteronderwijs, kent verschillende benaderingen, variërend van kindvolgende benaderingen via ontwikkelingsgerichte benaderingen tot directe instructiebenaderingen. …

De Vervanging en Renovatie opgave (VenR-opgave) van Rijkswaterstaat geeft aanleiding tot veel nieuwe onderzoeken met betrekking tot de staat van constructies. De Roggebotsluis wordt in het plan, Ruimte voor de Rivier, geamoveerd. Dit biedt de unieke kans om destructief onderzoek uit te voeren. Dit afstudeeronderzoek …

Biogas is produced from biomass by means of digestion. Treated to so-called ‘green gas’, it can replace natural gas. Alternatively, biogas can be used to produce electrical power and heat in a combined heat power (CHP) installation. In 2014 global biogas production was only 1% of natural gas production. …

Dit onderzoek is gericht wat ervaringsdeskundigheid is en op de opvattingen die er heersen binnen RIBW Groep Overijssel met betrekking tot ervaringsdeskundigheid met als doel te verduidelijken hoe hier over wordt gedacht. De inzet van ervaringsdeskundigheid wordt steeds verder uitgebreid binnen RIBW …

The volume of biogas produced in agricultural areas is expected to increase in coming years. An increasing number of local and regional initiatives show a growing interest in decentralized energy production, wherein biogas can play a role. Biogas transport from production sites to user, i.e. a CHP, boiler …

One of the issues concerning the replacement of natural gas by green gas is the seasonal pattern of the gas demand. When constant production is assumed, this may limit the injected quantity of green gas into a gas grid to the level of the minimum gas demand in summer. A procedure was proposed to increase …

Energy efficiency, greenhouse gas reduction and cost price of a green gas supply chain were evaluated. This supply chain is based on co-digestion of dairy cattle manure and maize, biogas upgrading and injection into a distribution gas grid. A defined reference scenario reflects the current state of practice, …
