Energy efficient “Adaptive Thermal Strategies” for renovation of the post war houses in the Netherlands.
Worldwide a large amount of energy is consumed by the residential sector to provide thermal comfort. In case of Netherlands too, the dwellings use a lot of energy in heating and ventilation systems in order to maintain comfortable temperatures in the interiors.This initiates the need of well designed and energy efficient strategies for providing thermal comfort. Therefore it is important to study, analyse and implement various adaptive strategies of thermal comfort that are energy efficient without compromising to the desired comfort level. These adaptive strategies involve creating a balance of active strategies that use purchased energy such as electricity or natural gas and passive strategies that use ambient energy like sunlight or wind. In Netherlands,the necessity to renovate the post war housing is increasing day by day. These post war houses also consume immense amount of energy to provide thermal comfort. This research paper thus aims at understanding “Which adaptive thermal strategies can be deployed in the refurbishment of post-war housing in the Netherlands to provide thermal comfort with increased energy efficiency.” The paper looks into literature providing information regarding the already used strategies and recent developments in adaptive methods used to maintain the thermal comfort. Moreover, it also involves study of three different case studies of refurbished buildings and a comparative analysis to understand which of the strategies work best for the renovation of the post-war houses.

Passive strategies use ambient energy sources instead of purchased energy like electricity or natural gas. These strategies include daylighting, natural ventilation, and solar energy. (Jeremy Faludi, 2018) Active strategies use purchased energy to keep the building comfortable. These strategies include forcedair heating and ventilation systems,air conditioning, heat

that could work best for the post war houses. Firstly, to gain primary knowledge, a literature review is conducted that gives a better idea of research done already in the field of adaptive, active and passive strategies used to provide the thermal comfort in the dwellings of Netherlands. Secondly, a case study of generic strategies on active, passive and adaptive strategies in a similar climate is carried out, particularly in terms of refurbishment with support of a case study- Magisterparken, Denmark. This provides a wider horizon of the strategies that are used in other countries and are also useful for Netherlands. Thirdly, the existing thermal comfort strategies are studied which have already been used for attaining the thermal comfort in Netherlands during refurbishment of De Kroeven in Roosendaal, Netherlands. Both of the case studies uses photo studies and artefact analysis to understand the projects and the techniques that are used and implemented successfully. Later, a comparative analysis is carried out based on the above mentioned strategies. The main focus is given to the strategies which are suitable for the Netherlands and those that can be applied to the post war dwellings in Netherlands. Then, with the use of concept mapping, the

The addition of a balconies has an enhanced effect in energy efficiency. The reason for this strategy to be most efficient is that it combines various strategies in together such as change in the ratio of surface to volume, provision of a buffer zone and improved thermal effect of ventilation.

Social housing estate De Kroeven in Roosendaal consists of 68 apartments, 22 single-family homes and 12 patio dwellings that were renovated. Earlier, De Kroeven was a modern neighbourhood, with modern facilities of that time which provided decades of living pleasure. But, all the houses had problems of poor ventilation and thermal comfort and therefore the renovation was a necessary step (Opstelten, I., Bakx, M., & Laumans, C. , 2011)

While refurbishing these post war houses, the right strategies can be applied such that less energy is consumed to attain thermal comfort. Passive strategies such as adding insulation to facade walls and windows, intermediate floors and roof, help to prevent heat from escaping. From different case studies it can be seen that providing balconies and sun spaces is one of the most efficient ways to not only for solar gain but also to protect space from overheating during summers.
