Marcel A.P. van Aarle

Marcel A.P. van Aarle is a researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology's School of Built Environment, specializing in building physics and climate impact studies. His work bridges engineering and cultural heritage conservation through advanced environmental modeling.

Research focuses on moisture transport dynamics in historic structures, climate change adaptation for building envelopes, and indoor air quality optimization. Key methodologies include hygrothermal simulation and numerical analysis of displacement ventilation systems.

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in heritage site preservation, notably the Anne Frank House climate control system study (2020) and frost damage modeling in masonry under changing climate scenarios (2013-2015). Research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals for sustainable cities and climate action.

Supervised work includes 6 academic projects, primarily focused on building physics applications. Current research explores moisture-related deterioration mechanisms in historic masonry under projected climate conditions.
