'It depends': soil organic matter doesn't automatically increase crop yield
More organic matter in the soil may be beneficial for the climate, but contrary to what's been assumed it doesn't automatically increase crop yield. The amount is not the only factor, concludes research by NIOO's Stijn van Gils: it also depends on the context.

Thin film of energy
PV foil is 'building-integrated': it collects solar energy, and makes the roof waterproof at the same time.

Deep source of new energy
In addition to conventional thermal energy storage, we use a solution that was developed especially for us.

Sun = power
Solar energy does not pollute and won’t run out any time soon. But how best to exploit its power?

Floor = hot = cold
With hot and cold water led through pipes in the concrete floors, we keep the temperature nice and constant.

Letting in the light
How can we make sure there's enough daylight to work comfortably but not too much sun?

A living, breathing building
As sustainable as possible, in as many respects as possible: that was the imperative when the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) commissioned a new building. And we have done it!
