Pavements are used everywhere, and are of a major importance in the infrastructure. However, conditions for which these pavements are designed for and built in are rapidly changing due to climate change. The trends observed in the Netherlands suggest a maximum temperature increase of 3 degrees Celsius …

The sustainable energy transition asks for new and innovative solutions in the way society, government, energy market and clients (end users) approach energy distribution and consumption. The energy transition provides great opportunity to develop innovative solutions where in the dense built environment …

Current heatwaves prove that the Dutch architecture and urbanism cannot cope with climate change. What are applicable design principles that will make Dutch neighborhoods heatproof? Cool Space targets the city center of the Hague, one of the most suffering cities of heat island effects in the Netherlands. …

The increase in population, high standards of living and rapid urbanization has led to an increasing demand for food across the globe. The global trade has made it possible to meet this demand by enabling transport of different food products from one part of the world to another. In this trade, refrigerated …

This paper presents five design prototypes for cool urban water environments developed in the 'Really cooling water bodies in cities' (REALCOOL) project. The REALCOOL prototypes address an urgent need: urban water bodies, such as ponds or canals, are often assumed to cool down their surroundings during …

When addressing urban heat problems, climate- conscious urban design has been assuming that urban water bodies such as canals, ditches or ponds cool down their surroundings. Recent research shows that this is not necessarily the case and that urban water bodies may actually have a warming e ect, particularly …

Research is done on the properties of a niobium superconducting magnetic shield sample (see image below this abstract), its magnetic attenuation; and behaviour around the transition temperature 9.25 K. The attenuation of the magnetic shield sample was measured in a cryogenic setup. This is required to …
