Within the Cool Neighbourhoods project, heat stress is assessed using the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), a thermal comfort indicator that combines meteorological conditions with spatial and environmental variables. PET-based heat stress maps provide insight into spatial differences in thermal …

Many modern unitised façades rely on structural sealant glazing (SSG) to accommodate building drift and slab deflection. However, when hung-and-sworded panels undergo racking, the resulting shear strains expose limitations in current design workflows. While it is common practice to use simplified linear …

The goal of this project is to investigate the feasibility and value of a modular tool system for the Roberine machine platform (seen in Figure 1). Currently, the Roberine is used as a mowing machine with a limited range of available tools. This may reduce its versatility compared to competing machines …

Cities and communities are central arenas for the global sustainability transition, and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is increasingly recognised as a key lever for the long-term societal learning this transition requires. Yet there is no systematic, transparent way to assess whether municipal …

The graduation subject focuses on research and development of a Page Builder tool with an AI assistant. The core concept is to allow technical and non-technical users to create and edit Spectrum application pages by combining a visual interface with an AI assistant. Before describing the tool itself, …

Daskan Inc. manages a diverse portfolio of engineering projects and faces a recurring challenge inaccurately estimating the engineering effort required and understanding differences in project workload and difficulty at the early stage of a project. Currently, these estimations rely heavily on expert …

Dit onderzoek heet ‘Klimaatadaptief herbestemmen’ en bevindt zich op het raakvlak tussen twee maatschappelijke thema’s: • Gebouwen herbestemmen naar woningen is een middel om de woningnood te verlichten; • Bestaande gebouwen zijn onvoldoende voorbereid op de gevolgen van klimaatverandering. De gevolgen …

This study examined how short educational videos about corals, sea turtles and seahorses can be designed as effective tools for increasing ecological knowledge to grade 7 children. The study was conducted for the natural-history museum Natura Docet, which aims to enrich its underwater exhibition with …

Het onderzoek ontwikkelt een geïntegreerd procesraamwerk dat parallel plannen en parametrisch ontwerpen combineert om de Nederlandse woningbouw te versnellen, betaalbaar en duurzaam te maken binnen een circulaire bouweconomie. Het kwalitatief-exploratieve onderzoek, gebaseerd op literatuur, expertinterviews …

Rijkswaterstaat SWM Zuidwest heeft in 2024 de norm voor binnenvaartinspecties (60% van 233 geplande inspecties) niet gehaald. Hetzelfde geldt voor de controles op het Scheepsafvalstoffenverdrag. Deze onder prestatie vormde de aanleiding voor dit onderzoek, met als doel om te achterhalen hoe de afdeling …
