During his lecture Hans Albarda provided the gathered a refreshing look at sustainability on a day to day practice. An insightful and thoroughly personal tale of discoveries, experiments and life stories was presented by a pioneer of sustainability in Canada. Afterwards there was even time to give some tips on how the implement these technologies by yourself. No lack in experience there!
This international TU Delft Summer Academy focuses mainly on students of Architecture, Urbanism, Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering Sciences, as well as on practicing professionals, experts and consultants from the building sector. This Summer Academy “Sustainable Building” will take place in the city of Almere, which is famous for its focus on sustainability of living.
Participating European students receive 3 ECTS credits + a certificate of attendance.
Applications must be in before June 1st - limited amount of places still available

Op dinsdagmiddag 27 april 2010 wordt de tool 'Naar een duurzame campus' gelanceerd. Tijdens deze middag wordt een demonstratie van de tool gegeven. Daarnaast wordt het onderzoek toegelicht en is er een debat waarbij u op een interactieve manier uw mening over een aantal stellingen kunt geven met behulp van stemkastjes.
This website aims to be a place where you can discuss and propose concepts and ideas for green solutions in architecture, design and urbanism. Where it is shown that the fusion between ecology and technology can be inspiring.

Hans Albarda lived off-grid, using only renewable sustainable energy since 1971.Some people might call him a pioneer. But he is more interested in the growing movement toward clean living. In very many ways, Canada is a very backward country, it is primitive and you might want to know what is (or is not) happening in Canada in the field of sustainable building.
The primary career of Hans Albarda has not involved sustainable living technologies. He studied visual art in Toronto and became a teaching professor in Ontario. The use and interest of renewable energy and sustainable living happened by itself. After graduating he was too poor to be able to buy electricity, so he just decided to make his own. He lived “off-grid” ever since, feeling really happy about his independent lifestyle and clean living. His latest house is solar powered and uses biomass and geothermal energy.
This lecture will be a story about his personal experiences in Canada using renewable energy, involving all the struggles and some success. Also some examples of others who have succeeded in small projects will be shown.
The lecture will take place on the 10th of June, 12h45 till 13h45, in the Berlagezaal of the Faculty of Architecture.
In a serie of lectures various topics on sustainable development will be adressed to get students enthusiastic about the subject.
This module forms part of the interdisciplinary electives Research & Design for Sustainable Development. The central themes are sustainable development, sustainable building and sustainable urban development. This subject can form part of the TU graduation specialisation Technology in Sustainable Development, see www.tudelft.nl/tisd.

Sustainablabla!? wil met een conferentie in oktober NIET opnieuw de zin, onzin, mythen en wijsheden rond het begrip duurzaamheid onderzoeken, maar juist dieper op de stof ingaan.
Is de manier waarop we nu met duurzaamheid omgaan de juiste? Om deze vraag te kunnen beantwoorden wordt tijdens Sustainablabla!?2009 aan de hand van verschillende thema’s een verdieping gegeven op dit alomvattende begrip. De eerste drie dagen wordt met verschillende lezingen, debatten en workshops ingegaan op duurzaamheid binnen een specifiek thema. Op de laatste dag zal met een groot debat worden afgesloten, waarmee tegelijkertijd terug en vooruit wordt gekeken: hoe zijn we bezig, en hoe moeten we verder?

Die Kooperationspartner TU Delft, TU Graz, Universität Stuttgart und ETH Zürich veranstalten einmal jährlich eine zweiwöchige internationale Sommerakademie „Nachhaltiges Bauen“. Diese Sommerakademie wird im Wechsel an den Standorten der Kooperationspartner mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten abgehalten. Ziel dieser Sommerakademie ist es, die in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit noch unzureichenden Lehrangebote universitärer Ausbildungsstätten für Architekten und Bauingenieure zu ergänzen. Dabei soll ein grenzüberschreitender Meinungs- und Informationsaustausch ermöglicht werden sowie durch internationale Lektoren auch der europaweit letzte Stand des Wissens vermittelt werden.

CAL was founded in 2008 in cooperation of the Faculties of Architecture and Civil Engineering and is supported by companies and organizations. The aim of the studio is the interdisciplinary research and design by students and professionals in public private partnership on sustainability topics, which are related to the effects of climate change and the development of adaptation and mitigation strategies.

On June 17 the Sustainablabla!? committee organises, in cooperation with SASBE2009, a workshop at the TU Aula. The case: the brand new building of the Faculty of Architecture: BK City.
There are a lot of questions about how sustainable the building is:
does the fancy furniture and bright colours give right to the same sustainable concept as the paper sandwich packages at the Ketelhuis? How are the Glass Houses cooled in the summer? What happens with waste water?
The participants will prepare a documentation of the visited projects and give each other small lectures on site. Afterwards a publication of the lectures will follow.
