Distributed electricity supply in the built environment. Evaluation of system innovation
Local sustainable electricity production technologies as well as technologies with high domestic electricity demand are generally expected to develop in the long run and largely affect the local…
Models in evolutionary economics and environmental policy
It is commonly recognized that environmental innovations provide an important key to sustainability. However, the two dominant approaches within environmental economics – neoclassical and ecological…
Introduction: evolutionary methodologies for analyzing environmental innovations and the implications for environmental policy
It is commonly recognized that environmental innovations provide an important key to sustainability. However, the two dominant approaches within environmental economics – neoclassical and ecological…
Likelihood of meeting the EU limit values for NO2 and PM10 concentrations in the Netherlands
In 2007, the European limit values for annual average NO 2 concentration and for daily average PM 10 concentration have been exceeded along motorways and city streets in the Netherlands. The total…
What would have happened to the ozone layer if chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) had not been regulated?
This study simulated the effects on the stratosphere of a steady growth of ozone depleting substances and compared those results to the normal expectations of the evolution of the stratosphere in the…
Study on the spatial variability of urban background PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations
Measurements have shown that the spatial variability of urban background concentrations of particulate matter (PM) was about the same as the measurements’ estimated inaccuracy. The differences were 10…
Steering local housing production: evaluating the performance of governance structures
This article presents an analytical framework that allows us to evaluate the performance of dynamic governance structures. In housing development processes, governance structures – markets…
Erratum: Voyage without constellation: evaluating the performance of three uncalibrated process-oriented models (Hydrology research (2009) 40(2) (261-72))
Unfortunately an incorrect version of the Acknowledgements section appears on p. 270 of this paper.
Voyage without constellation: evaluating the performance of three uncalibrated process-oriented models
Three process-oriented dynamic acidification models were applied to a long-term monitoring site without calibration to evaluate the influence of model structural differences on simulation. The models…
Electric driving - Evaluating transitions based on system options
Large-scale use of electric vehicles could drastically reduce CO 2 emissions, especially if more electricity would be generated by sustainable energy. Moreover, using electric vehicles would diminish…
