Huygen (HIA) is with 55 employees one of the oldest (est. 1939), independent and leading SME consulting companies in the Netherlands. Its fields of expertise are: building services, building physics, sustainable building, ventilation, acoustics, energy, environment, indoor air quality, and fire regulations both in consulting in practice and in applied scientific research work. HIA has extended experience with integrated design approach integrated NZE renovation and re-use of buildings within national and international projects
Main role in MOBISTYLE
Main tasks in the project is the work package 1 Management and coordination and the 7 Communication, training and dissemination. HIA will bring - besides their bureau knowledge - their expertise from IEA Annex 53, Annex 66 and the TRECO projects on real energy use in relation with user behaviour, the monitoring database on user behaviour and energy parameters from the TRECO projects on the 3 Development of methodologies and on 5 Development of modular information services and business applications. HIA will also contribute to a large extent to last work package 7 on dissemination and will perform the monitoring for the Demonstration case 4 Health care centre Mosae Vita.

MSc. Ana Tisov finished her BSc in Civil Engineering in Slovenia and graduated as a Master of Science in Architectural Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). During her studies, she worked in an architectural bureau in the field of energy consulting and as a teacher assistant at DTU where the scope of the course was on integrated design of buildings. In her thesis project, she developed new indicators and key figures which can be used for simultaneous analysis of energy and indoor environment quality for modern buildings. As a civil engineer with experience in energy optimization of buildings and generated indoor environment, she joined a research team of Huygen Installatie Adviseurs where she works on different research projects within the EU research programme "Horizon 2020".
