Sustainability (mitigation and adaptation)
All homes will be gas-free and connected to an energy system consisting of an individual air-water heat pump and twelve solar panels. This allows residents to generate their own electricity to sustainably heat and cool their homes, ensuring an Energy Performance Coefficient of 0.0.
Rainwater is absorbed by bioswales and a large pond through ’t Groene Wold’s surface water. The project also offers a wide variety of greenery and planting, about 50% of which is zoned for urban and other agriculture. ’t Groene Wold will have an above-average amount of unpaved surface compared to other residential areas. Together with the ample of surface water and greenery, this will ensure that ’t Groene Wold becomes a climate-adaptive neighbourhood.
Altera’s CEO, Jaap van der Bijl, said: “We see tenants satisfied with this successful second phase completion, which meets their need for affordable single-family homes in the Randstad conurbation. The climate-adaptive character of the housing is a perfect fit for Altera’s sustainable and young residential portfolio.”
