Designing Resilient Stratospheres
Location: Commissiekamer 3
Violating the Prime Directive: Integrating Self-reporting Data* to Life Support Systems to Improve Comfort in Energy-Efficient Human-occupied Environments. (*not that Data).
In this theme, we look at the human component in design.
- Olivia Guerra-Santin - Department of the Built Environment, Eindhoven University of Technology
- This talk explores the integration of human self-reporting data regarding comfort, preferences and needs into Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) and energy flexibility management systems within the Brains 4 Buildings project.
- Evert van Beek - Industrial Design Engineering, TU Delft
- Designing by and with residents mini-workshop: We need to implement sustainable technologies such as heat pumps in homes to save energy, reduce carbon emissions and work towards a cleaner and greener future. But to reach those goals, we also have to understand how residents give these technologies a role in everyday life. In this workshop, we'll explore tactics for learning from and designing with users as co-creators, connecting to their daily needs and expectations. This can enhance project outcomes and can achieve benefits like reducing costs of failure, satisfied and engaged users, effective communication and learning from residents.

Opposite direction from the stars
In this session we go in opposite direction of the stars… into the subsurface. The subsurface plays an important role in providing renewable heating and cooling. Hence, TU Delft is developing a subsurface urban energy lab. In this session we will share the development and research going on at the TU Delft campus and complementary sites and technologies we collaborate with.

Infrarium (10:00-12:00)
Meeting point: Commissiekamer 4
Forty-five minutes of stress in a sea container that has been transformed into an Infrarium filled with physical and mental challenges. How do you go about laying energy cables without disrupting industry or energy suppliers? How can you work with others in a small space filled with smoke, flashing lights and incessant noise? What effect do stress and emotions have on decision-making? The Energy Grid Game simulation reveals the challenging decisions that the energy sector will face during the current energy transition. This case focuses on the Port of Rotterdam. The game was designed by Igor Nikolic, associate professor of participatory multi-modelling, and Geertje Bekebrede, associate professor of serious game design. The goal is to allow participants to experience, both physically and emotionally, the urgency, cohesion, mutual dependence and complexity of the energy transition.

Meso – Cooperations and acceptance of renewable energy
This session consists of three presentations on the ethics, governance, and behaviour surrounding future energy cooperation within the built environment. Udo Pesch (TU Delft) will present work on energy justice, Thomas Hoppe (TU Delft) will dive into the governance of energy cooperatives, and Milan Tamis (TU Eindhoven/HvA) will reveal how group processes impact the shared use of energy technology (such as EV charging stations). Speakers:
- Udo Pesch - TU Delft
- Justice in the urban energy transition
In the implementation of the measures to build a sustainable energy system, it becomes increasingly clear that this transition has many implications for justice. Subsidy schemes for residential PV installations or electric cars may stimulate the diffusion of sustainable technologies, but these subsidies imply that taxpayers who do not have the financial resources to afford solar panels or electric cars are funding those who can. Getting rid of these subsidy schemes, however, might mean that people who expected to be compensated buy something they could otherwise not afford. Likewise, wind turbines, solar parks, and other kinds of installations need space, which implies that residents in rural areas are disproportionally confronted by such technical systems, while the benefit of renewable energy is mostly enjoyed in urban areas. These developments raise questions such as: What is justice? How can identify the injustices in the energy transition? How to make trade-offs between different values and different normative claims. In this presentation, I address and critically reflect on the normative and descriptive frameworks that have been developed in literature to deal with these questions.
- Justice in the urban energy transition
- Thomas Hoppe - TU Delft
- The role of energy communities in transforming urban energy systems
Active involvement of citizens in the initiation, planning and implementation of urban energy infrastructures is gaining critical importance. The community energy sector has grown significantly in recent years, from about 30 nationwide in 2010 to over 700 active energy communities right now. Not only is this number impressive, the sector has also realised transformative change in legislation, regulatory frameworks, governance arrangements, whilst gaining traction in wind and solar energy markets. Recently, energy communities have also become very active in spurring transformative change in urban energy systems, more particularly in the sustainable heat transition domain. This presentation will address the role and agency of energy communities in urban energy systems’ transitions, and draw on results and insights from the ongoing research projects ‘Horizon 2020 SCCALE 20-30-50’ and ‘Interreg NorthSea II WaterWarmth’.

- The psychology of shared technology: (anti)social behaviour at the public charging point
Shared technology characterises itself by being embedded in the social context of users. These users do not only use the technology but also influence each other and each other’s use of the technology. Public charging points in neighbourhoods are fascinating in this regard. Multiple users require the charging point for their vehicle, but conflicts and antisocial behaviour mean a charging point could be very inefficiently used. However, few mechanisms are known to stimulate cooperative behaviour at the charging point. In this presentation, we look at the different behaviours at public charging points and how to influence these behaviours.

Evolution from Individual Beings to Cosmic Collaborators
In this session, we embark on a voyage into the future where humanity and society are not just participants but integral design elements in shaping a profound and value-driven approach to the energy transition. Join us as we explore three visionary insights:
- Transcendent disciplines for galactic participation: we’ll delve into cutting-edge transdisciplinary approaches that empower individuals and societies to actively engage in the creation of sustainable, harmonious energy systems
- Lifelong cosmic learning communities: discover the limitless potential of lifelong learning communities, where knowledge and skills are collectively nurtured to thrive in an ever-evolving environmental, economic, technical and social cosmos
- Beyond the bounds of currency: energizing value-based exchange: journey beyond the constraints of traditional financial structures as we pioneer value-based exchanges, fostering energy-sharing practices within and exceeding the vast expanse of energy markets.
Our discussion will orbit around the necessity of forging innovative social infrastructures and materials, essential to nurture energy-learning communities, ignite value-based practices in energy transition, and overcome the challenges of achieving transdisciplinary unity in action. Join us as we chart a course to a future where humanity and society co-create the energy landscape among the stars. Engage, explore, and evolve.

General challenges of the built environment “Beam the energy transition up Scotty...”
Decarbonising heat supply at a city level is an enormous challenge. and from any perspective the opposite from as simple as beaming it up. So this session will not feature Scotty. In this session we focus on the great challenges and solution for getting those millions of houses of the gas. Three main perspectives are provided: from the ministry of internal affairs, collective solutions from Eneco and individual solutiosn from the (ground source) heat pump industry.
