Tweede leven voor ArenA-stoelen

Het Urban Technology onderzoeksprogrammavan de Hogeschool van Amsterdam (HvA) doet praktijkgericht onderzoek voor de omschakeling naar eencirculaire stad. Eén van de factoren die hierbij een rol spelen is hoe producten circulair ontworpen kunnenworden. In een aantal onderzoeksprojecten wordt door de HvA specifiek gekeken naar het gebruik van lokalereststromen om circulaire producten te ontwerpen. Onder meer aan de hand van een wel heel bijzonderereststroom: de in 2017 afgedankte stadionstoelen van de Amsterdam ArenA. In Product #5 / 2017 en Product#2 / 2018 verschenen de eerste twee delen waarin de achtergrond van dit onderzoek is besproken en waarinsuggesties voor nieuwe stoelontwerpen op basis van upcycling en recycling gedaan zijn.In dit derde en laatste deel richten we ons op de consument. We gaan in op de vraag hoe circulaireproducten door de consument gewaardeerd worden en welke rol de herkenbaarheid

Wat Mensen Beweegt

What Moves People: Sustainable Travel to Events at Arena PoortToday over 50% of the event goers who are going to a venue at the Poort are travelling by car. Unfortunately this has a big downside for the environment.This interactive experience map presents opportunities in which event goers can be stimulated to travel more sustainably. It shows journey of an event goer traveling to a venue at the Arena Poort. The experience map is based on several interviews, user trips and user tests done by students of the AUAS for the research group Creative Media for Social Change. In the booklet you can read more about the student solutions and the project.

The second life of a stadium seat

Confronted by more and more global sustainabilityrelated challenges, society is increasingly aiming for a circular economy. Wouldn’t it be ideal if we could contribute to an economic model with closed loops, where products and materials that are at the end of their functional life are reused in new products and systems? As the Netherlands aims to have a fully circular economy (i.e., zero net waste) by 2050, circularity is also a critical theme for the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area. ‘Circular City’ is one of the main urban challenges of the Urban Technology research programme of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS). Its chair of Circular Design & Business and its research group on Digital Production collaborate with companies, lecturers and students on a range of applied research projects in order to advance the knowledge around circular design and business model strategies making use of digital production to encourage the local reuse of discarded urban materials. Amsterdam ArenA, home base of the Ajax football team and a major concert and events venue, is replacing all stadium seats in the run-up to the European Football Championship in 2020 (UEFA Euro 2020), and wishes to do so in a socially responsible manner. With that purpose, Amsterdam ArenA engaged the expertise of the Urban Technology research programme at the AUAS to study the viability reusing the old seats in a circular manner. The research started from the assumption that these discarded seats not only form a large and relatively homogeneous waste stream, but also have an emotional value that can potentially raise their economic value, beyond that of the material alone. For the AUAS this was an important case study, because the Amsterdam ArenA aspires to be a stage for sustainable innovations, reduce its environmental impact and stimulate the local economy. This project could serve as an example for other stadiums and public buildings with substantial waste streams on how to handle discarded products, and rethink how they can prevent waste in the future. With this mission, the AUAS lined up a team of experts on circular design, digital production, business modelling and impact studies to carry out a comprehensive multi-disciplinary study.

Case: PV generation and Electricity demand at the Johan Cruijff Arena

PV systems are used more and more. Not always is it possible to install them in the optimal direction for maximum energy output over the year. At the Johan Cruijff ArenA the PV panels are placed all around the roof in all possible directions. Panels oriented to the north will have a lower energy gain than those oriented to the south. The 42 panel groups are connected to 8 electricity meters. Of these 8 energy meters monthly kWh produced are available. The first assignment is to calculate the energy gains of the 42 panel groups, and connect these in the correct way with the 8 energy meter readings, so simulated data is in accordance with measured data.Of the year 2017 there are also main electricity meter readings available for every quarter of an hour. A problem with these readings is that only absolute values are given. When electricity is taken of the grid this is a positive reading, but when there is a surplus of solar energy and electricity is delivered to the grid, this is also a positive reading. To see the effect on the electricity demand of future energy measures, and to use the Seev4-City detailed CO2 savings calculation with the electricity mix of the grid, it is necessary to know the real electricity demand of the building.The second assignment is to use the calculations of the first assignment to separate the 15 minute electricity meter readings in that for real building demand and for PV production.This document first gives information for teachers (learning goals, possible activities, time needed, further reading), followed by the assignment for students.
