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

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

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

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

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

An average toilet cistern has a 10-liter capacity. How can we prevent wasting all that water?

A few highlights of the NIOO-KNAW building.

Not all wastewater is necessarily 'dirty'. Toilet water can even be used as a clean energy source!

Since 2011, NIOO's researchers have been working in new headquarters with laboratories and offices surrounded by greenhouses, experimental ponds and a range of other facilities.
