• Largest research institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW)
• app. 250 employees
• app. € 16 million budget
• Locations:
- Heteren
- Nieuwersluis
- Yerseke
Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW)
Quality of life & work:
• Materials good for humans and the environment
• Longevity / flexible design
• Abundance of daylight, view and natural air flow
Sustainable and economical use of energy and materials:
• Sustainable energy from thermal storage and sunlight
• Own waste as a source of energy, retrieve minerals
• Close water and nutrient cycle
Eco-effective building I
Stimulate biodiversity and a natural environment:
• Building in balance with the (green) environment
• Vegetation on the roof
• Stimulate maximal biodiversity on the site
Eco-effective building II The main building

Main considerations in choice of materials:
• Production:
Re-usable materials
Low energy consumption
No harmful emissions
• Longevity and maintenance
• Hallmarks, e.g. Forest Stewardship Counsel (FSC)
• Wood, glass, steel, ‘eco-concrete’...
Materials good for man and environment
• Energy saving construction
• Solar collectors
• Thermal storage
• Concrete core activation
Reduced energy consumption
Ambition:
To make NIOO-knowledge, facilities and space available for scientists and entrepreneurs to develop and test the newest generation of eco-technological products
help to develop new knowledge
help to allow pilots
stimulate biodiversity and sustainability
Stimulating eco-technology
Examples:
• Deep HT source (finished)
• Newest generation solar cells (proof-of-concept i.d.)
• On site nutrient cycle (proof-of-concept i.d.)
• Green experiment roof (feasibility study, pilot i.d.)
• Newest generation lighting,
green lighting, new LEDS ? (in development)

Energy-concept NIOO: deep high-temperature storage
Demonstration- and proof-of-concept project in development with innovative start-up technology company:
SunCycle
Testing Concentrated Solar Power(energy) combined with watercooling (heat) to HT-source.
SunCycletechnology
New generations of solar cells
Newest generation LED

Water treatment by algae?
Two algae cultivation systems:
Algae pond
Photobioreactor
Algae: research and practical use
Waste water flows:
– toilets (after fermentation and water treatment by algae)
– water from domestic use – water from research labs
Helophyte filter

On-site nutrient cycle
Biodiversity, birds, water and air filtration, cooling….
Experiments with WUR, companies, etc.
Pilotprojects: vegetational diversity, hydrology,electricity from plants…
Green experiment roof with different vegetations
Plant microbial fuel cell
principle:
solar radiation + CO2 organic compounds
roots excrete organic compounds
oxidized by electrochemicallyactive bacteria
bacteria donate electrons to anode
which flow via energy user to cathode
Natural fence
Variety of plants and animals
Restore/plant hedges
Create microclimates
Stimulate biodiversity
