Doe de tienkamp: gebiedshistorie en identiteit bij duurzame gebiedsontwikkeling
No full textDuurzame gebiedsontwikkeling is vooral succesvol als de ontwikkelaars rekening houden met de identiteit en de culturele context van het gebied. Dat stellen onderzoekers Leo Oorschot en Jeroen Mensink in dit nieuwe hoofdstuk van de Tienkamp voor duurzame gebiedsontwikkeling. Zij leggen uit hoe je die identiteit en context bepaalt en laten zien hoe dit in de praktijk uitpakt van de gemeente Amsterdam.Over ‘Doe de tienkamp!’Dit jaar publiceert de leerstoel gebiedsontwikkeling van de TU Delft een update van ‘Doe de tienkamp!’ uit 2011. Onder de overkoepelende triple P-benadering van People, Planet en Profit gaan we aan de hand van tien thema’s na hoe duurzame gebiedsontwikkeling de afgelopen tien jaar in de praktijk vorm heeft gekregen. Ieder hoofdstuk behandelt een belangrijk thema van duurzame gebiedsontwikkeling en bespreekt enkele wetenschappelijke inzichten, dilemma’s en instrumenten. We sluiten altijd af met een casus met een verbinding tussen People, Planet en Profit.Housing Institutions & Governanc
Doe de Tienkamp: naar een klimaatadaptatieve woonomgeving
No full textDe gevolgen van klimaatverandering vragen om veel meer aandacht voor een klimaatadaptatieve inrichting van de woonomgeving. Zowel in de bestaande gebouwde omgeving als in nieuwe gebiedsontwikkelingen is het niet alleen nodig dat experts samenwerken, dat geldt ook voor relevante stakeholders. Bovendien is het van belang om op het vlak van techniek, budgetten en informatieverzameling systemen beter met elkaar te verbinden.Environmental Technology and DesignPractice Chair Urban Area Developmen
DOE���s Save Energy Now Assessments ��� Results and Lessons Learned from 450 Assessments Conducted in 2006-2007
No full textFollowing a successful launch in 2006, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) continued to offer Save Energy Now (SEN) assessments to energy-intensive U.S. manufacturers in 2007. Through the Save Energy Now initiative, plants received system-based assessments conducted over a 2-3 day period by DOE���s SEN Energy Experts. DOE sponsored assessments of steam and process heating systems in 200 large plants in 2006 and followed with 250 plants in 2007 by adding assessments of compressed air, pumping and fan systems. As of March 2008 DOE���s Energy Experts have identified opportunities totaling over $732 million in energy cost savings and 6.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions reduction, approximately equivalent to the emissions of 1.1 million passenger cars. This discussion will cover the identified and implemented savings generated to date by this assessment program. Additional analyses presented will include an examination of savings by type of system and opportunity, and by industry and state

Configuration management of DOE facilities -- lessons learned
No full textConfiguration management (CM) is an integrated management process to ensure that facilities` physical and functional characteristics are maintained in conformance with the facilities` authorization basis and that modifications, maintenance, and operating processes are consistent with the conditions prescribed by the design basis. The Department of Energy (DOE) completed a feasibility study of DOE Nuclear facilities in the area of Configuration Management. The CM review was associated with their effort to review and improve all aspects of DOE Facility and operations safety. Based upon these reviews and discussions with selected utilities and DOE Site Contractors, a recommendation to issue a DOE Order was given resulting in DOE 5480.CM, ``Operational Configuration Management.`` DOE prepared a draft order and issued it for comment to the other DOE Field Offices, and some selected Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Contractors. Another DOE Headquarters group is preparing a CM Order DOE 663, Configuration Management for Non-Nuclear Facilities. EG&G Idaho used the DOE Orders on several nuclear facilities and has some lessons learned they desire to share with the DOE nuclear and non-nuclear industry. This session will discuss an overall CM Program and give lessons learned when available
Calibrating DOE-2 to Weather and Non-Weather-Dependent Loads for a Commercial Building: Data Processing Routines to Calibrate a DOE-2 Model, Volume II
No full textDOE-2 yields hourly data on specific variables provided the user specifies the
HOURLY-REPORT instruction. Analyzing the simulation results with hourly data gives a more
detailed picture of how well the model is predicting the monitored energy consumption. The
difficulties of using hourly data to calibrate a model are the extraction of data from DOE-2's
well documented output reports and processing the data into graphs which are meaningful. This
chapter demonstrates the data processing routines that extract hourly end-use energy
consumption and weather data from DOE-2's hourly output reports and process the data into
three-dimensional plots and temperature-specific humidity carpet plots
Doe de Tienkamp: duurzame gebiedsontwikkeling met een afgewogen programma
No full textBij duurzame gebiedsontwikkeling gaat het uiteindelijk om het creëren van een prettige leefomgeving. Strategisch adviseur Agnes Franzen en onderzoeker Tom Daamen laten zien dat een afgewogen programma in een gebiedsontwikkeling geen vanzelfsprekendheid is. Zij reiken zowel instrumenten als denkrichtingen aan voor gebiedsontwikkeling die oog heeft voor People, Planet én Profit.Urban Development ManagementPractice Chair Urban Area Developmen

DOE/OIT Plant-Wide Energy Assessment Experience Summary
No full textThe Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) is sponsoring cost-shared, plant-wide energy assessments of industrial facilities through its BestPractices Program. The purpose of these assessments is to examine plant utility and process operations and to identify opportunities for improving their energy efficiency. During the past 18 months, DOE has awarded grants to a total of 13 plants in the steel, metal casting, aluminum, forest products, chemical, and petroleum industries. All of these industries are part of the DOE Industries of the Future (IOF) Program.
The average annual savings identified in these studies has been more than $1,000,000 per facility, with payback periods usually less than 18 months (some have been as short as 3 months). In some cases, the nonenergy benefits identified (e.g., reduced scrap. increased productivity. and maintenance reductions) have been greater than the energy savings. This paper summarizes the findings from the completed assessments and identifies common areas where energy savings opportunities have been found
