Major building designs
- Town Hall Lelystad (1976) an integrated design of a self-supporting building. World's first seasonal heat storage in wet ground, parabolic solar collectors, balanced ventilation with heat regain, humidifying by plants and spring fountains, insulated shutters at night and acoustic of a concert hall. (Not built)
- Minimum-energy housing development 1979-83 in Schiedam. 184 social houses were built. The project altered the building tradition in the Netherlands. Some of the innovative design includes: Airtight building, wall insulation on the outside, foundation and roof insulation. In the kitchen balanced ventilation with heat recovery in the hood of the cooker.[2]
- In 1980: Atolls in the North Sea pumped dry by windmills/watermills as an alternative for atomic power.[3]
- The energy producing greenhouse and the "edible city" are development concepts with 2ha glasshouse with seasonal heatstorage that heat 200 properly designed houses.
- Floriade 2012 the tenannual horticultural exposition in Venlo the Netherlands[4]
