A better understanding of the energy demands of various users in the city – households and services such as schools, offices and shops – can facilitate urban energy transition. Nina Voulis offers this insight in her dissertation entitled Harnessing Heterogeneity, with which she will be awarded her PhD at TU Delft on 22 February 2019.

Foundations for a new building at the Green Village contain 40 metre long tubes to exchange heat with the soil. Researchers will monitor the ‘energy piles’ in action.
