Voor eigenaren Dick en Aad is de verduurzamingsopgave allesbehalve een verplichting. Ze zien het juist als een kans om het pand toekomstbestendig te maken.

As deputy director of a restoration construction company, I also work in our own house with environmentally friendly materials and only renew what is really needed. After the restoration, the old and new interior shutters again fulfill their original insulating and light, sound and burglar resistant function.

At Berbice we restore sustainably through economical use of materials and environmentally friendly products. Our solar panels are invisible from the street. The sheep's wool in the attic floor is fire-resistant and insulates.

Sustainable living has many advantages. It is healthier, more comfortable, better for the environment and you save a lot of money. Energy-saving measures can also often be applied to monuments, although this requires customization. That is why it is essential that you know how to take the right steps. As a municipality, we find it important to support our residents in this. With the Voorschoten Green Menu, we offer you a wide variety of solutions for saving and generating energy in a monument.

Thanks to the new double glazing and the replacement of the old gas boiler, the gas tap in our monumental building was one step further to being closed.

We have preserved our National Monument from 1657. We started with The Green Menu. De Groene Grachten then provided excellent advice and provided insight into what is possible, how sustainable it is and how profitable it is. They also offered assistance with the permit application to the municipality. We are very satisfied with the result!
