Energy-efficient renovation of apartments must be made easier

On Tuesday, the Parliamentary Climate Committee approved the proposal of initiator Kris Verduyckt (Vooruit) that aims to make it easier to implement energy-efficient interventions in an apartment building. Only Vlaams Belang abstained. The intention is now for the federal government to start working on the construction and real estate sector. Several barriers, both legal and financial, need to be removed. Member of Parliament Verduyckt emphasizes the urgency of measures: “If we want to reduce energy consumption for apartment residents, an important challenge lies in energy-efficient renovation of those buildings. This should be possible faster: it is all hands on deck.”
