Decentralised renewable energy production in the form of fuels or electricity can have large scale deployment in future energy systems, but the feasibility needs to be assessed. The novelty of this paper is in the design and implementation of a mixed integer linear programming optimisation model to minimise …

The aim of this study was to explore effects of a major urban reconstruction on physical activity (PA) behavior by comparing PA intensity hotspots before and after the tunneling of a highway with a new infrastructure prioritized for walking and cycling. In total, 126 individuals participated before and …

This second webinar from the series Climate Adaptation: solutions from different corners of the world is about adapting infrastructure to new conditions caused by climate change in Canada and the Netherlands. Floris Boogaard and Darren Swanson will specifically discuss the drought and extreme rainfall …

International Conference “Groundwater, key to the Sustainable Development Goals”. Paris, May 18-20th, 2022ClimateCafé is a multi-, trans-, interdisciplinary and international event of several days in which young professionals, stakeholders and scientist come together to collect data and design (potential) …

Swales are widely used Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) that can reduce peak flow, collect and retain water and improve groundwater recharge. Most previous research has focused on the unsaturated infiltration rates of swales without considering the variation in infiltration rates under extreme …

The childhood obesity epidemic has persisted for over three decades, which has presented serious social, economic and health consequences worldwide. For researchers and policy makers alike, cycling has been a promising focus over recent years for developing long-term physically active lifestyles in urban …

Stormwater runoff can contain high amounts of Potential Toxic Elements (PTE) as heavy metals. PTE can have negative and direct impact on the quality of surface waters and groundwater. The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) demands enhanced protection of the aquatic environment. As a consequence, …

Global climate agreements call for action and an integrated perspective on mobility, energy and overall consumption. Municipalities in dense, urban areas are challenged with facilitating this transition with limited space and energy resources, and with future uncertainties. One important aspect of the …

Presentatie van CBSS en EnTranCe voor het lectorenplatform Urban Energy

The goal of the project is to get -young- people moving, and both program and selection of the site are thoroughly studied. In a local park a series of mixed-use open-air facilities form a circuit with enough attractive value to elevate the whole neighborhood of Tilburg Noord into the larger recreational …
