In 2022, the energy transition is in full swing, and everyone is aware that with the current climate change, everyone has a role to play. Below are six reasons why it's a good idea to start making your home more sustainable now.
If you want to know which measures apply to your home, it's recommended to request an energy label. This label describes specific measures to make your home more energy-efficient.
When a house is well-insulated, living comfort increases. We spend a significant portion of our lives indoors, so a good living environment is crucial. To create a healthy indoor climate, it's also important to have a good ventilation system.
Investing in sustainable energy generation can significantly reduce your monthly energy costs. You'll also have fewer issues with external parties and any potential increases in energy and gas prices. Sometimes there are doubts about whether a roof structure can support solar panels. If you have any doubts, we recommend a building inspection . This inspection always includes the roof structure. The advantage of a building inspection report is that you immediately know the condition of the rest of the house. An example of a roof inspection during an inspection:
Starting this year, subsidy amounts for insulation measures have increased again. Homeowners can use the "investment subsidy for sustainable energy and energy conservation" for this. A total of €228 million is available for 2022.
Last year, a study was conducted on the value of homes with a low energy rating. It showed that a home with a low energy rating is worth an average of €25,000 less. So you're making an investment (with a subsidy) and the value of your home increases as a result!
Improving your home's insulation is sustainable in two ways: first, it's good for the environment, as you generate your own energy, reducing fossil fuel consumption. Furthermore, a sustainable home lasts longer than a non-sustainable one.
