Housing is of key importance for societies. It drives the economy and is a key issue for sustainable urban and regional development in growing as well as declining areas.
The energy crisis and energy transition have a huge impact on human behavior relating to energy, housing, and the built environment.
The summer school will give insight into the European perspective on the development of a sustainable housing stock, and speeding up energy transition goals, by presenting European and national goals, policies, regulations, assessment tools, process innovations, behavioural, institutional and management approaches. It will shed light on emerging economies and institutions in a similar context.
Scope
This Summer School is organized as in-depth lectures covering a variety of perspectives on sustainable housing transformation, workshops, site visit and a tender game for the renovation of a housing complex. The lectures are professors working at the TU Delft and are all well-known experts in their field. In the tender game you, as part of a group, are challenged to design the technical, social, environmental and financial strategies to make sure that the housing complex will be as sustainable as possible, has future value for existing and new residents, and acts as an exemplary role for market diffusion.
