For home owners, it is often unclear what measures can be taken, what is and what is not allowed, how this affects the appearance of the property and what financing options are available, locally or nationally. This Green Menu is part of a broader collaboration with the municipalities of Waterland, Purmerend, Beemster and Edam-Volendam to make monuments more sustainable. To this end, the municipalities work together with Duurzaam Bouwloket, Bureau MVO and De Groene Grachten.
To help you and other owners of monuments and other historic buildings on their way, the municipality of Zaanstad has drawn up a Green Menu in collaboration with De Groene Grachten. The consultants of De Groene Grachten have analyzed various monumental buildings and conducted research into possible improvements for energy saving, energy generation and sustainable heating. Based on these recommendations, the possible measures have been mapped out on The Green Menu so that you can also get started on making your home more sustainable. A total of more than 70 measures have been summarized!
Home owners will find solutions for insulation, ventilation, heating, electricity, water and greenery and quick wins on The Green Menu Zaanstad. In addition to the technical feasibility, the financial and legal feasibility have also been mapped out. This includes financing options and applying for permits. It is also possible to make a quick calculation of the investment and savings on CO2 and the energy bill, based on square meters.
Why a Green Menu? “The Netherlands has 1.5 million homes from before 1945. That is about 20% of all homes in the Netherlands, ranging from 1930s homes to monumental canal houses and country estates,” says Suze Gehem, director of De Groene Grachten. To prepare these buildings for the future, it is important to make them more sustainable. Making historic buildings more sustainable requires a different approach than that for new construction. Gehem: “People often think that the required permits make it more difficult to make historic buildings more sustainable. Finding financing also seems complicated and the sustainable measures must match an old building. But every building does have its own possibilities. ” The Green Menu has been developed to remove barriers such as permits and missing knowledge.
