Circular and industrial construction

At TNO, I focus with a team of about 15 colleagues on the use of wood and other biobased materials in construction. We deal with materials research (virgin and circular) in their application. We also play a role in developing biobased building systems and monitoring the performance of buildings in which the biobased building components have been applied. In addition to expertise, we have facilities; in our current Building Innovation Lab, ongoing research is supported with experiments and we are going to realise a completely new facility in which we can also start making 0-series of biobased building products with partners.

Let’s discuss the development and application of Circular Stonelike Materials.

Hello, I am Norman Egter van Wissekerke, Programme Manager of the Cure and Care cluster. You can come to me with questions about the efficient and sustainable construction and use of healthcare real estate, contamination control, and indoor air quality in healthcare.

My many years of experience, especially within the CAD, GIS and BIM world, make me our unit's designated business developer in the field of digitalisation in the built environment. Whether it's digital twins, predictive models, ontologies or monitoring of existing buildings and infrastructure, I know how to make the link between market and TNO expertise.

I focus on holistic sustainability and circularity in the built environment. My research involves optimising and elucidating the technical performance of innovative building materials and their impact on the environment, costs, and safety of structures. This supports integrated decision-making and brings policy and practice closer together.

I am a researcher/consultant in the field of contamination control, energy, and installation technology, specialising in air handling systems in operating rooms. My focus is on Dutch healthcare. I connect governments and businesses with our teams in healthcare energy and indoor air quality, seeking new opportunities to develop and implement innovations in these areas.

I work as principal consultant on Vulnerability of Buildings. My core areas of interest are the effects of dynamic and climatic actions on buildings, associated risks for safety of structures, physical damage to buildings and health issues for inhabitants.

Special interest goes to the effects of land subsidence caused by human activities and climate change which increasingly leads to risks and associated costs to our built environment.
