Making homes more sustainable Woonbedrijf
Woonbedrijf is working hard to meet the sustainability requirements for the homes it owns, and we are even ahead of targets. By 2028, all 1425 Woonbedrijf homes will meet the set sustainability targets. This is good news for tenants as living comfort increases and energy costs decrease.
A certified consultant manages the energy labels of the Woonbedrijf's rental properties. They investigated how the Woonbedrijf could improve the energy efficiency of all homes. After this, Woonbedrijf set to work. Woonbedrijf started with the houses that are older and less energy efficient.
Nature Protection Act
In (preservation) projects, the Woonbedrijf must always take into account the Nature Protection Act. This act protects animals such as house sparrows, swifts and bats. It is forbidden to kill, capture or damage these animals' habitats. It is therefore necessary to investigate whether protected species are present prior to a project. We therefore always have an ecological study carried out at the start of a project. We always opt for nature-friendly insulation and we provide replacement habitats if protected species are present. In addition, we avoid work during the breeding season of protected species. In this way, we can preserve homes without harming nature.
Major maintenance and insulation of roofs
Major maintenance roofs several homes in Oostvoorne and Rockanje
The Woonbedrijf is having major maintenance performed on the roofs of several homes in Oostvoorne and Rockanje. The roof tiles will be replaced and at the same time we will insulate the roof. We also replace the skylights and lead-throughs. Sometimes we move the skylight to the shady side for more space for solar panels. The gutters are also renewed. If the tenant already has solar panels, we will temporarily remove them and replace them later. If a tenant does not yet have solar panels, they will receive an offer to have them installed.
Planning
In January 2025 a start was made on the Koekoekslaan in Oostvoorne. Here, roofs have been additionally insulated and roof tiles replaced. The contractor is currently working on the roofs of the complex on Frambozenstraat/Moerbeistraat in Rockanje. The Wielewaal complex in Rockanje will follow after the construction period. The maintenance work will take about six weeks per complex. A total of 48 homes will be improved at these locations.

Planning
We have now started this maintenance job on the Butterfly River. And we expect to be finished around October 2025. All residents have since received a notice about the start of the work.
The Woonbedrijf collected and processed all the data and passed it on to the relevant contractors. The Woonbedrijf has asked the company Energiewacht West to install the central heating boiler and heat pump, and the company IN2 Solar will install the solar panels. In the upper apartments, the company Elektra Vermeulen will also adjust the electricity in the attic.

Floor and cavity wall insulation for over 700 Woonbedrijf rental properties
Woonbedrijf aims for tenants to have pleasant and energy-efficient homes. Therefore, we are always looking for opportunities to improve the living comfort and energy efficiency of our homes. An important step in this regard is the installation of wall and/or floor insulation. Woonbedrijf is having insulation installed at several homes in Brielle, Oostvoorne, Rockanje and Tinte that are not yet insulated.
Cavity wall insulation
Cavity wall insulation involves filling the space between the interior and exterior walls with insulating material. This keeps the house warmer in winter and cooler in summer. A well-insulated home provides more comfort, lower energy consumption and therefore lower energy costs. In addition, it is better for the environment because less energy is needed to heat your home.
Floor insulation
Floor insulation involves insulating the underside of the floor with insulating material. This keeps out the cold from the crawl space and keeps the heat inside the house better. The tenant notices this immediately: the floor feels more comfortable and the house stays comfortably warm in winter. This also ensures greater living comfort, lower energy consumption and therefore lower energy costs.
Planning
The Woonbedrijf has asked the company Isolatiespecialist.nl to carry out this project. There are many homes that need to be insulated. Therefore, the work will be carried out in the period from the beginning of 2026 to the end of 2027.
