Research
Division of Energy and Building Design
The Division of Energy & Building Design consists of engineers and architects where interdisciplinary research expertise is required to support technically and architecturally well-functioning solutions.
Our research areas are:
- Energy use and energy-efficiency
- Thermal and visual comfort
- Passive and active use of solar energy
- Passive cooling (window opening/solar protection)
- Glass in buildings
- The demands and requirements of the user
- Life Cycle Analyses
- Circular Building Design
The research covers the whole area between theory and demonstration project. Our projects use both quantitative and qualitative approaches and can, amongst others, result in:
- Development of calculation models
- Simulation and analysis
- Measurements of the performance of components, for example g-values of shading devices, efficiency of solar collectors
- Validation of calculation models by measurements
- Development of design tools
- Interviews with key stakeholders
