Energy-producing homes from the Domijn housing association in Overdinkel

The four energy-producing homes are optimally insulated and energy efficient. The house covers both the residents' electrical heating needs and the energy consumption of their household appliances.

Domijn - Energieleverende woningen in Overdinkel.

n 2013, housing association Domijn completed a block of four energy-producing homes. The homes on Prins Bernhardstraat in Overdinkel are optimally insulated and energy efficient. Each home has a total of 36 solar panels on the roof. This allows the home to cover both its electrical heating needs and the energy consumption of the residents' household appliances. This means that no gas or central heating boiler has been installed in the homes.

The design for the homes was created in response to a competition organised by the Domijn housing association. Domijn carried out the construction of the energy-producing homes as part of the “Hart voor Overdinkel” programme. Domijn and the municipality of Losser are the driving forces behind this programme. Within this programme, 500 homes, roads and other public areas are being upgraded and retention areas are being created both in the village and on its outskirts.

Bazalt Wonen transforms event location into lively residential area with care facilities

Where once stood American Roadhouse's go-kart tracks and bowling alleys in Zaltbommel, now rises a modern residential area with care facilities. Housing association Bazalt Wonen, with funding from BNG, transformed this former leisure centre into a lively neighbourhood with a mix of social rental, mid-range rental and owner-occupied homes, supplemented with essential care facilities. With 174 new homes, this project contributes to Zaltbommel’s housing challenges and liveability. Han Jetten, director of Bazalt Wonen: ‘The result is a mixed-use district with care facilities and plenty of meeting spaces.’

It worked with building contractor Van Wijnen and obtained funding from BNG to implement various energy-saving measures, including the insulation of the buildings’ outer shell and the installation of solar panels. The measures have reduced carbon emissions and energy costs, and provide greater comfort for residents. This project is a perfect illustration of how housing associations can accelerate sustainability through smart partnerships.
