IKEA-Land. A Counter-History of Domestic Space. KU Leuven
An icon of the West, IKEA—the world's largest furniture retailer—has garnered attention in various academic, pop, and artistic domains, and has also been examined in detail in the fields of economics, semiotics, branding, and marketing. Yet it seems to be still understudied from an architectural perspective; a knowledge-gap addressed by this doctoral research. By examining moments and periods of the company's history—through literature, archival ...
Energy and the functional specialisation of domestic space in eighteenth-century Ghent and Leiden University of Antwerp
Daily activities were now not only allocated more and more to the home but differentiated into separate domestic spaces for leisure, sleeping, sociability, dining, preparing meals and so on. In this chapter, the author will study the interaction between energy and the spatial arrangements of (bourgeois) homes in the eighteenth-century Low Countries based on a selection of probate inventories from two central cities: the Flemish city of Ghent and ...
Energy cost reduction by optimal control of ideal sensible thermal energy storage in domestic space heating KU Leuven
In the light of demand side management, the combination of thermal energy storage and space heating using electricity as energy vector is promising. The environmental gains of the use of heat pumps in buildings increase as the fraction of renewable electricity production rises. When variable electricity prices represent the availability of renewable energy sources, consumer gain can be accompanied by environmental benets. The aim of this study ...
Design methodology for combined production and distribution for domestic hot water and space heating University of Antwerp
As local heat demand is reducing due to an increased insulation rate, investing in sustainable heat production becomes less interesting. Nevertheless a substantial demand of heat remains in which the thermal energy needed for the generation of domestic hot water grows relatively in importance. In the last two years standards to size production and distribution systems were revised and methods based on tap patterns were elaborated. Nevertheless, ...
In-situ validation of a new sizing methodology for combined production and distribution for domestic hot water and space heating University of Antwerp
Collective heating systems are becoming more frequent due to their sustainable and economic benefits. Nevertheless, some aspects, such as how to size collective installations that provide heat for both space heating and domestic hot water, are not yet fully understood. Based on an initial evaluation and feedback from designers, it is found that current sizing methods are insufficient. Recently, a new method ‘maximum sum of parts’ was proposed ...
