UEI Symposium

Speeding up the energy transition in existing buildings: Innovation Through Collaboration

When: 19 November, 2024 | 10:00 - 18:30
Where: Old Library, Delft (Raam 180, Delft)

The Netherlands aims to increase energy renovations in existing buildings to 200,000 per year. For the past four years, the "Integrated Approaches for Energy Renovations in Existing Buildings" (IEBB) consortium has worked to develop innovative and scalable solutions to achieve this goal.

On November 19, Urban Energy Institute will host its annual symposium which will also serve as the closing event for the IEBB program. The event will showcase IEBB’s most promising results and lessons learned. Professionals from industry, government and academia will gather to exchange ideas on how these results can be further put into practice.

This event is organized by TU Delft and TNO in collaboration with TKI Urban Energy, TKI Bouw en Techniek and RVO.

Spots are limited - early registration is recommended to save your spot!

Parallel Sessions

Bundling Renovation Measures

Accelerating the energy transition in the built environment requires a different way of thinking about renovation “products” and more efficient, standardized ways to produce and install them. This section presents a cross-section of the various technological developments, tools and methods have been developed within IEBB for this purpose.

With Mathijs Vallinga (Reimarkt), Piet Jacobs (TNO) & Frans Koene (TNO)

Governance & Collaboration Models for Energy Renovations

With Walter van Steenis (WNR), Olivier Lauteslager (Verbouwstromen), Erwin Mlecnik (TUD), Ragy Elgendy (TU Delft) & Guus Mulder (TKI Urban Energy) 

The Green Village

Site Visit to the Green Village

How to Get People on Board: Behavior Insights into Renovation Decisions

With Queena Qian (TU Delft), Theo Arentze (TUE), Stella Boess (TU Delft) en Gerdien de Vries (TU Delft).

Preparing Homes for District Heating

What is needed to connect a home to a district heating network, what can be done to simplify and accelerate this, and what are possible alternatives? In this session, we take a look at developments both “in front of” and “behind” the meter with respect to district heating networks.

With Andries van Wijhe (TNO) en Martin Bloemendal (TU Delft)
