Energy renovation of social housing units - Brussels-Capital Region

The building sector is the biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in the Brussels Region. This is why the region must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 32% by 2030. This objective must be achieved through the sustainable renovation of existing buildings. 

The current approach to reducing the environmental impact of existing buildings stipulates that the social housing stock must obtain at least one EPB D certificate by 2025. This project, which receives a grant of €31 million from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, involves the publication, award and execution of 12 works contracts by public housing companies for the renovation of at least 1,325 homes. The work will mainly involve thermal insulation of the building envelope and roof insulation. 

The work will be carried out over a period running from January 2021 to June 2025, with completion scheduled for before 2026. One of the buildings involved is the social housing renovation project at Roche Fatale / Noodlottige Rots: 40 dwellings, a budget of 6 million euros and a renovation project based on new elements that integrate discreetly with existing buildings, enhancing their contemporary identity while respecting historical structures.
