Starter Engine | Affordable Housing through District Heating
18th September 2020 | Studio Webinar with Diederik Samsom & A Video of the Project
The Dutch ambition to achieve the country’s climate objectives is to disconnect seven million homes and one million buildings from the gas grid by 2050. With more than 2.2 million rental homes, housing companies are the largest homeowner in the Netherlands and, thus, an important partner. This is why 36 housing companies, five heat companies, tenant’s association, the central government and municipalities have signed the Starter Engine agreement to connect homes to a collective heat system and keep the heat supply affordable.
