TNO provides expertise in designing systems for monitoring and evaluation of urban projects. The scope of projects ranges from buildings to smart city projects, infrastructure and transport and logistics projects. Expertise is provided on the physical aspects: environmental impacts, energy efficiency, resource efficiency, chain effects (through LCA), adaptation to climate change; and on the design and implementation process and the diffusion of innovations.
TNO is developing and testing the assessment tool (B4U). Next to that, TNO is collecting and assessing Urban Innovations. TNO guides the Eurbanlab start-up entity.
TNO is the largest fully independent Research, Development and Consultancy organisation in the Netherlands. TNO’s primary tasks are to support and assist trade and industry including SME’s, governments and others in technological innovation and in solving problems by rendering services and transferring knowledge and expertise.
The group participating in Eurbanlab is called Climate, Air and Sustainability. Key competencies of this group are in emissions and air quality modelling, Life-Cycle-Assessment of processes and products, urban metabolism, indicator based (sustainability) assessments, greenhouse gas mitigation, climate change adaptation in cities, and sustainable energy supply and use.
