Biography

Research profile

In my current research, I am interested in the smart use of resources in (corporate) real estate management. In addition to materials, energy and natural resources, I see human resources and their social capital as essential. I am especially interested in featuring the concept of waste in the smart use of resources in CREM by streamlining the value creation through re-engineering, re-designing and re-structuring. My passion is to move the CREM industry towards near-zero waste.

Central questions that motivate me in the smart use of resources in (corporate) real estate management:

• How to prevent the waste while retaining the use-value of RE?
• How is waste currently prevented in CREM?
• What is waste in CREM?
• What is the root cause of waste in CREM?
• How to use near-zero waste systems from other fields (such as health care, construction, car industry) in CREM?
• How to achieve and maintain the near-zero approach?
