We introduce NeedForHeat DataGear: an open hardware and open software data collection system designed to accelerate the residential heating transition. NeedForHeat DataGear collects time series monitoring data in homes that have not yet undergone a heating transition, enabling assessment of real-life …

We present GarpN, a software tool designed to integrate qualitative and quantitative modelling. GarpN has three functionalities: translating a qualitative representation into a quantitative model, running numerical simulations and detecting quantitative states, and matching these states to their qualitative …

This study investigates how AI tools might help Criteo recruiters by decreasing manual labor and increasing process efficiency. Recruiters must review more profiles and interview more prospects due to the increase in application numbers, which is partially caused by candidates utilizing AI to improve …

Background Recently, a cluster-randomised controlled trial was conducted within Dutch ambulatory mental healthcare to assess the effectiveness of a one-year smoking cessation intervention consisting of group sessions, peer support and pharmacological treatment (KISMET). This article presents its process …

Domera, een bouwbedrijf gespecialiseerd in drijvende woningen, onderzoekt hoe kostenramingen en offertes efficiënter en nauwkeuriger kunnen worden opgesteld. De huidige handmatige werkwijze leidt tot vertragingen en fouten, waardoor het proces tijdrovend is. Dit onderzoek richt zich op het gebruik …

The author offers an elective course for undergraduate students of Mechanical Engineering in his university about Energy Communities and self-sufficient island systems. In this course he has a different teaching approach that includes the direct application of a software for the creation of a new energy …

Hoe kan je - als student of ontwerponderzoeker - je ontwerp testen met opdrachtgevers en praktijkpartners op een praktische manier die verder gaat dan vragen: “Wat vind je ervan?”Ontwerpen winnen aan effectiviteit als ze worden getest met diverse stakeholders. Het testen van ontwerpen is een wereld …

DEME Group, a leader in offshore energy and marine infrastructure, seeks to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of cable burial operations for offshore wind farms through the development of a user-friendly trencher mobility model. This research addresses the limitations of existing models and provides …

Background: Recently, research focus has shifted to the combination of all 24-h movement behaviors (physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep) instead of each behavior separately. Yet, no reliable and valid proxy-report tools exist to assess all these behaviors in 0–4-year-old children. By involving …

The built environment requires energy-flexible buildings to reduce energy peak loads and to maximize the use of (decentralized) renewable energy sources. The challenge is to arrive at smart control strategies that respond to the increasing variations in both the energy demand as well as the variable …
