w:st="on">Wageningen</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>,
TNO, TU Delft and Kenlog. The ultimate goal of CAGIM is to deliver a
substantial contribution towards meeting the targets that are set out in energy
transition paths for the horticultural sector. This will be achieved by
developing innovative greenhouse concepts with adaptable properties aiming at
maximizing energy efficiency while respecting optimal growing conditions for
crops. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Research Programme “Climate Proof Cities” in which a large number
of universities and research institutes are involved. The aim of this programme
is to provide the knowledge that is necessary for adapting the built
environment to be able to cope with climate change. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

adaptation measures that will be evaluated for indoor building environmental
performance (thermal comfort - overheating) and heating and cooling energy
consumption. “High-resolution whole-building simulation” will be
employed for different climate scenarios and for a typological building
classification. The high-resolution whole-building approach will be expanded to
take into account user behavior.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
