▪ Consulting in construction & sustainability By combining building technology, building physics and renewable energy systems with a solid background in physics, mathematics, chemistry and biology, we provide consulting to organisations & building owners to become more sustainable and achieve carbon-positive operation. Bio-based solutions involve symbioses between sectors: inter-sectorial cooperation is the main driver to achieve resilience, circularity, climate neutrality and a clean energy supply. To accelerate the bio-economy, our consulting provides a bridge between findings from the natural sciences and innovative applications in the building & civil sector. This contributes to interconnections with bio-based applications in the infrastructural, industrial and agricultural sectors.

Consultant since 2008. Experienced company director and team manager, who coordinated several large projects in the building sector and energy sector. Additional experience from projects for public utilities (electricity grid, power-to-gas, telecom, water supply). The main English working areas are the UK, Canada and Australia. Plan-AE group is a holding that started in Oslo in 2008. In 2014, an office branch was formed in Delft. As of today, the group consists of: - A technical consulting practice. - Three cleantech start-ups in facade technology, water purification and energy technology.
Acoustic consulting for outdoor spaces and built-up areas. Assessment of environmental projects regarding the topics: - Ambient noise (traffic noise, industrial noise and wind noise), - Transmission of vibration, - Building acoustics (soundproofing of buildings). Advice on ambient noise for municipalities in the Holland-Rijnland region and for the Province of South-Holland. Analysis of noise originating from industries, infrastructure, technical installations and other sources. Aerophysics. Analyses: - Noise level on sports fields, - Sound level of installations in a holiday home resort, - Acoustic requirements in a TAM-IMRO planning procedure, - Noise level near agricultural activities, - Wind noise from high-rise buildings, - Wind noise from a transmission tower with antenna, - Acoustics in a dwelling and day-care centre.

Specializing on physical and energetic properties of the building envelope, climate facades / double skin facades, zero-carbon / energy-plus buildings, energy efficiency, building-integrated renewable energy, indoor climate and bioclimatic solutions. I also focus on the interface between building physics and building technology, to improve a building's performance through innovative, efficient solutions. As of 2025, expanding upon my earlier experience with projects for high buildings, I have begun to specialize on the building envelope and indoor climate of high-rise buildings (higher than 20 storeys). As a consultant I can flexibly participate in multilingual project teams, and provide cross-disciplinary coordination to complex advisory tasks when required. Consulting tasks: - MPG calculations in GPR and building physics calculations for 80 dwellings in Veenendaal. - BENG calculation for a laboratory building of Wageningen University. - Building physics consulting for a public office building in Utrecht (office tower, ventilated climate facade). - Building physics consulting for a school building in Gelderland. - BENG calculation for a public building in Limburg. - Energy efficiency improvements for heritage buildings in Holland.
Quantum technologies offer multiple benefits: higher energy efficiency, zero emissions, less usage of raw materials, smaller volume and lower sound level. Using quantum technology it becomes possible to achieve systems that are more energy-efficient, more compact, zero-carbon and more silently operating in various fields of application. This cleantech start-up became possible thanks to the discovery in 2023 that a combination of quantum technology, nanomaterial and digital sensors provides a next type of renewable energy that is stable, more compact, and that has a higher energy capacity than the renewable energy systems that are in use today. Based on innovative scientific research in quantum physics, nanotechnology and metallurgy carried out in 2021 – 2023, this start-up develops a new type of sustainable energy system that is highly compact and zero-emission. Our system, called QER, is especially suitable for energy-dense applications such as heavy industry, desalination, road & rail transportation, shipping and aviation. The QER system is set to deliver an essential contribution to the decarbonisation of these energy-intensive sectors. The QER system is very compact, its energy density being several times higher than that of conventional energy systems. Its small footprint conserves the environment; its absence of emissions protects the climate. Even the most energy-demanding applications, such as the metal production industry, high-speed trains, bulk sea transport and long-distance air traffic can be entirely decarbonised by using the QER system as energy source. Prototype construction is planned to start in 2024. The first units will supply 0.1 MW up to 1 MW each. This technology can be scaled to a capacity of 20 MW per unit within approx. five to seven years. The QER system will make it possible to stabilise and fully decarbonise electricity grids, particularly when combined with existing renewables and energy storage, considerably decreasing battery size.
