B&D Contractors asked Ingreenious to calculate the indicators for an energy plan for Westerhoven. The energy plan includes a study on the potential of wind energy, asphalt collectors for generating heat, heat storage, energy storage and solar panels.

Search | Calculation of power generating capacity of small wind turbines in Overhoeks
Search asked Ingreenious to map the wind capacity in the Overhoeks area of Amsterdam (project developer: ING Real Estate) and to consult on the price-performance ratio of small wind turbines at this location.

2008 Projects

SenterNovem | Suitability assessment of open-air test facility in Schoondijke for certifying small wind turbines
SenterNovem asked Ingreenious to map the wind capacity in Schoondijke to assess the suitability of the Schoondijke open-air test facility for conducting measurements in accordance with the national assessment guidelines.

Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects (USA) | Presentation at the Greenbuild conference
The American firm of Zimmer Gunsul Frasca (ZGF) Architects LLP asked Ingreenious to give a presentation at the Greenbuild conference 2008 in Boston on the integration of wind turbines with buildings. The presentation dealt with the essential difference when integrating wind turbines on high-rise compared to low-rise buildings, and a number of theoretical considerations on aerodynamic integration.

Climate forum Malmö (Sweden) | Workshop on small wind turbines
Ingreenious was asked to hold a workshop on the considerations involved in finding suitable locations for small wind turbines. About 90 individuals attended the workshop who were interested in installing small wind turbines in Malmö and environs.

Ford/ CdMR | Paint damage at Vlissingen
Following on the assignment of March 2008 where Ingreenious was asked to look into the most likely source of paint atomization, the company was now asked to calculate the amount of paint sprayed per unit of time.

SenterNovem | Certification of small wind turbines in the Netherlands
SenterNovem contracted with Ingreenious to develop an action plan for certifying small wind turbines in the Netherlands so that the measurements could be subjected to mutual comparisons.

Greenlab | Certification measurements of small wind turbines
A joint venture of Eneco and Greenchoice, Greenlab asked Ingreenious to develop an action plan for conducting certification measurements in accordance with the certification guidelines for small wind turbines as established by Ingreenious. It is Greenlab’s intention to use the findings to enhance overall expertise on the performance of small wind turbines.

Turby | Design of a successor for Turby
Ingreenious redesigned a number of components of the rotor of the Turby vertical axis wind turbine. The redesign concerned the forces on the rotor blades, the airfoil choice, the shape of the blade tip and the location in the mould where the blade halves join.
