Christa Drolenga

Introduction

My name is Christa Drolenga. In 1998, I completed my studies in Architecture at TU Eindhoven. With 15 years of experience at a monodisciplinary consultancy in the field of building physics, I joined ABT in 2013 because I believe in the power of integrated collaboration with all the technical disciplines that ABT has in-house.

What I do at ABT

At ABT, I am involved in building physics, acoustics, and fire safety consulting within the Building Physics knowledge group. From 2019 to 2023, I also led HE advisors in Rotterdam, a mechanical engineering consultancy that, like ABT, is part of Oosterhoff. My passion lies in combining physics and the built environment to create comfortable, sustainable, and safe buildings. I value clear and open communication, and within projects, I act as a ‘bridge builder’ between clients and specialists, managing both technical content and process. Additionally, I am co-responsible for knowledge development and innovation within ABT as part of the TIKK steering group.

My dream for the future

My dream for the future is to continue contributing to the realization of comfortable and sustainable buildings. I want to further develop my role at ABT and continue contributing to the integration of physics and the built environment. My aim is to have a positive impact both technically and process-wise, leveraging the multidisciplinary collaboration within ABT to tackle various challenging new construction and renovation projects.
