Bram Entrop is a professor in Sustainable Transitions in the Built Environment within the research group
Sustainable Areas and Soil Transitions (SAST) of Saxion University of Applied Sciences (UAS) in the Netherlands. This means that energy transition, circular transition and climate adaptation in the built environment are the main research and educational topics that are being covered by Bram. By March 2022,
he was also elected as one of the nineteen members of the municipal council in his hometown Borne in the
Netherlands province of Overijssel.
In 2004 he graduated as a civil engineer at the University of Twente, also located in Enschede (the Netherlands), on a three-step plan for sustainable use of land space; the Trias Toponoma. He did his doctoral research on Energy Techniques and Measures (ETMs) in housing. For which he obtained his doctorate in 2013, when he developed a framework to assess the adoption potential of ETMs from three different points of view, namely energy performance, financial aspects and their role in design and construction processes.
As of 1 September 2018, he has been working at Saxion UAS. From 2019 to 2023 the research group was participating in a prestigious European H2020 CityLoops project that aims to make it possible for municipalities to close their material loops and to reduce their construction and demolition waste to zero.This project won the Saxion Research Prize in 2024.
He has put several books, multiple journal publications, many conference publications and publications in professional journals to his name, mostly in English and Dutch. Very regularly he provides presentations and organises workshops on energy and circular transition in the built environment in the Netherlands and abroad.
