Quenched Normal Approximation for Random Sequences of Transformations
We study random compositions of transformations having certain uniform fiberwise properties and prove bounds which in combination with other results yield a quenched central limit theorem equipped with a convergence rate, also in the multivariate case, assuming fiberwise centering. For the most part we work with non-stationary randomness and non-invariant, non-product measures. Independently, we believe our work sheds light on the mechanisms that make quenched central limit theorems work, by dissecting the problem into three separate parts.Peer reviewe

Collaboration opportunities in advanced housing renovation
AbstractIn theory, there is huge potential for reducing the energy consumed by existing single-family houses by thoroughly renovating them. For the successful market development of highly energy-efficient integrated renovations, supply chain collaboration is very important, while at the same time customer demand for integrated renovations has to be stimulated. A research and networking methodology was developed within the framework of the One Stop Shop project to identify and develop collaboration opportunities for advanced housing renovation in Belgium, Denmark, Finland and Norway. The research identified key supply-side needs through interviews and questionnaires, and analysed important elements for the development of a web-based portal that can connect supply and demand. The project further developed ideas and methods for collaboration and business model generation between different players on the renovation market. These different research results contributed to defining new business opportunities related to process innovation to unburden the homeowner and to achieve less fragmented renovation processes
