6 Reasons to make your business more sustainable

As the urgency of climate change intensifies, making your home more sustainable not only enhances comfort and reduces energy costs but also increases property value. Discover why now is the perfect time to invest in energy-efficient upgrades and how these changes can benefit both your lifestyle and the planet.

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.

1. A better and healthier climate in the house

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.

2. Cut back on your monthly expenses

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:

3. Higher subsidies for insulation and heat pumps from 2022

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.

4. Your home increases in value

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!

5. Sustainability

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.
