Energy in the built environment

Hello I'm Egon Janssen, manager of the cluster High Tech Greenhouses. You can reach me for questions about greenhouse horticulture, greenhouse construction, Hortivation, horticulture technology and data-riven horticulture (Siom en Casta).

You can contact me if you want to collaborate with TNO on the interface between building performance and user behavior. It is my ambition to get better performing buildings by combining these areas of knowledge, not just in theory but in practice where comfortable living and working go hand in hand with high energy quality.

My research focusses on understanding the physics of transport and phase changes in complex permeable media as to better engineer materials for a sustainable society, including ​materials for energy storage and ​technological porous materials​.

Paolo de Heer is AI & data science consultant for various domains at TNO: from the safety sector & greenhouses, to the built environment & the energy transition. He is driven by sustainability and tackling societal challenges with significant focus on the end-user.

Please contact me if you want to improve the indoor environment and simultaneously want to save energy. My focus is on optimizing ventilation, heat recovery, filtering, local extraction and passive cooling. This to reduce the concentration of contaminants such as particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide and to prevent overheating in buildings

Within the PMC Energy Performance & Indoor Environmental Quality I am responsible for the knowledge development in the field of the indoor environment.
