Help with sustainable renovation of rented house
Even if you live in a rented house, there is often room for improvement when it comes to energy consumption. Milieucentraal helps with this. It is explained step by step for each type of room how best to proceed. For example, the bathroom needs a different approach than the bedroom or kitchen.
For larger sustainable measures, such as insulation, you must consult with the VvE. Take advantage of this. It is often cheaper to become more sustainable together with other owners. It happens that small VvEs are sometimes not or hardly active. This may seem easy and cheap, but that is certainly not the case! Little or no maintenance is done and if there is a problem, there is often not enough money to fix it. So activate the VvE! For help and tips, please visit www.vve010.nl.
Rotterdam is progressive. Also with a view to sustainable (re)building. The municipality makes subsidies and loans available so that residents of Rotterdam can invest in sustainable solutions. For example, a subsidy or loan is available in some cases for switching to natural gas-free. Or for more greenery and collecting rainwater. And also for electric driving, insulating the home or solar energy projects.
Visit the website www.duurzaam010.nl for an overview of subsidies and loans that you may be eligible for.
