Kees Vringer was born in Groningen, The Netherlands in 1966. In 1983 he graduated from secondary school in Groningen. In 1989 he completed his training for secondary-school teacher at Ubbo Emmius in Groningen, receiving a BSc.
Kees continued his study in chemistry, receiving his MSc from the University of Groningen in 1991, with a Master's thesis on energy-saving potentials for several industrial and trade sectors. He started his career that same year at his alma mater, doing research on energy-saving potentials for households.
From 1992 to 1998 he was employed as researcher at the Department of Science, Technology and Society at the Utrecht University. There he carried out several studies on the direct and indirect energy requirement of households and consumption patterns.
Since 1998 he has been working at the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL), which was before a division of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). PBL advises the Dutch government on environmental and sustainability issues. Kees Vringer continued his work on consumption patterns, consumer behaviour and the related energy requirement at PBL, contributing to PBL's Environmental Balance, Environmental Outlooks, as well as scientific articles and other publications. In 2005 he finished his PhD thesis, named: Analysis of the energy requirement for household consumption.
