How we make things more sustainable together

Updated: Oct 27


Summary

The sustainability upgrade for Kleiburg phase 1 is being implemented through a step-by-step plan that helps us make decisions together. The advantage of this is that everyone can contribute, but it does take time. Ultimately, the General Members' Meeting (ALV) will decide on the plan's content. Our goal remains the same: a comfortable, energy-efficient, and future-proof apartment building.


The process and the path

The sustainability of Kleiburg phase 1 is a multi-year process . It consists of two main phases:


I. First we make a plan together,

II. Then follows the execution.



Phase I: making a plan together

The plan must answer the questions:


  • Which measures are technically and financially feasible?

  • How can we improve living comfort (fewer draughts, more stable indoor climate)?

  • How do we finance this, and which subsidies or funds can help?

  • What does this mean for the monthly contribution and energy costs?



The 6 steps

To create a well-founded plan, we follow six steps. These are based on guidelines for homeowners' associations (VvEs), but adapted to the situation in Kleiburg phase 1.


Hoofdfase I - de 6 stappen
Hoofdfase I - de 6 stappen

Step 1: Orientation

Research and knowledge gathering. Consider studies by Utrecht University of Applied Sciences and Steeds Advies BV, as well as courses/webinars attended by committee members (e.g., from the Dutch government, the Heat Fund, and the Municipality of Amsterdam).

 

Step 2: Share ideas

Informing homeowners and residents and identifying preferences. This website plays a central role in this: everyone can access information and indicate their priorities via questionnaires.

 

Step 3: Create a concept plan

Residents' input will be incorporated into a draft plan. This plan includes a proposal for a customized recommendation, including several potential sustainability packages.

 

Step 4: Share the concept plan

The draft plan will be discussed and shared widely (with both owners and residents of Kleiburg phase 1), so that everyone can respond.

 

Step 5: AGM decision on budget

The committee requests the ALV to make a budget available for the tailor-made advice.

 

Step 6: Customized advice and decision

The customized advice is presented and the ALV decides which plan will be implemented.


Where are we now?

We are currently in step 2 : informing owners and residents and gathering their preferences. This website is the primary tool for this. The committee is also developing questionnaires and other resources to gain insight into what residents and owners consider important.



Phase II: from plan to implementation

After a positive ALV decision, the implementation phase starts.


This runs from

  • preliminary design;

  • to final design, including financing and grant applications;

  • to tender;

  • and execution.


We will come back with more information on this phase later.
