TNO
Mission Pathways
Representatives of TNO are committed to the following mission pathways:
(Forward) development of new construction chains and application of sustainable building materials
The city centers of Helmond and Eindhoven have a significant urbanization challenge. All new homes that we add will be built in a biobased, circular, and climate-neutral way.
Collaboration and knowledge sharing
Together we increase awareness and engage ambassadors, frontrunners, and exemplary projects aimed at the sustainability of business activities in our cities.
Energy and smart grids
Business parks are large consumers of energy. Sustainable energy from solar and wind is increasingly being generated. By managing demand in combination with storage and a so-called 'smart grid', this can be better aligned with supply.
Scaling up sustainable business parks
Sustainability of a business park requires a collective approach. This means cooperation between entrepreneurs (association), property owners, suppliers, advisors, and the government.
Sustainable mobility and logistics
There are various ways to make mobility in the business park more sustainable. Sustainable commuting to and from work offers various benefits and opportunities. It results in climate gains, it is healthier, and it is often cheaper. Working from home, using public transport or cycling to work, carpooling, or using an electric bike.
Towards climate-neutral mobility in the city center
A large part of the CO₂ emissions in the city comes from cars and the transport of goods. It should become easier to choose bicycles, public transport, or shared cars in our (inner) cities. A car-reduced city center contributes to a pleasant living environment and creates more physical space for other functions such as green areas and recreation.
