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 …

This ‘cohort profile’ aims to provide a description of the study design, methodology, and baseline characteristics of the participants in the Corona Behavioral Unit cohort. This cohort was established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic by the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment …

In Europe, green hydrogen and biogas/green gas are considered important renewable energy carriers, besides renewable electricity and heat. Still, incentives proceed slowly, and the feasibility of local green gas is questioned. A supply chain of decentralised green hydrogen production from locally generated …

Electrification of residential areas is increasingly common. Major areas of development include promoting rooftop solar panels, electric vehicles and heat pumps. However, existing grid components may have insufficient capacity to support the resulting electricity flows. Battery energy storage (BES) can …

Since the Industrial Revolution cities have acted as magnets for people seeking higher incomes and a better future. From the 1950s, Europe’s older, compact, horizontally developed cities rapidly expanded as a result of urban sprawl. At the beginning of the 21st century European cities shifted from dedensification …

Een grote (ganzen?)poep op een van de panelen op EnTranCe triggerde een mini-onderzoekje naar het effect daarvan op de opbrengst van dat zonnepaneel. Ook hebben we bestudeerd hoelang de vogelpoep blijft zitten en dus hoelang het zonnepaneel last heeft van een lagere opbrengst.

In de podcast worden verschillende opties besproken die het in de toekomst eenvoudiger kunnen maken om van het gas af te gaan. Vanuit de HAN wordt aandacht besteed aan PVT. Daarbij wordt gebruik gemaakt van zonnepanelen die niet alleen elektricteit, maar ook warmte leveren. Dit is onderzocht in het SIA-RAAK …
