Profile
Ing. Louis Cleef is a guest researcher at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management. Cleef is Fire Safety Manager at ROCKWOOL, and a member of various committees and boards in the field of fire safety. Cleef holds a Bachelor's degree in Construction Engineering & Business Administration from Avans University of Applied Sciences (Tilburg).
The vast majority of activities during my career have focused on fire safety, which has enabled me to develop a strong focus on this area. In recent years medium and large fires have caused a lot of social damage, which in my opinion and current knowledge could have been prevented in a large number of cases if the correct substantiation had been available. The economic and social consequences of these fires are hugely underestimated!
Research
My research will focus on developing a fire safety economics decision-making roadmap to complement insights that may be gained from fire safety engineering with micro-economic insights. The general research question is the following: “How can a roadmap be scientifically developed such that economic information becomes part of the fire prevention decision-making process? The Roadmap will lead to optimized decision-making with much more focus on sustainable solutions with respect to fire prevention. It also will act as an inspiration for product development and innovation. A new business model will be developed that will lead to sustainable and smart fire prevention.
