Money, comfort and enthusiasm for REG (Rational Energy Use)

The Flemish government is reforming the isolation subsidies. This is a good option according to both SERV and MINA (environmental advisory council) but at the same time they recommend additional initiatives. Flanders’ buildings and houses should be renovated at a much higher pace for reasons of climate, employment and the economy. Vulnerable groups should be backed, pioneers should be stimulated, those lagging behind should be forced to catch up and practical problems should be tackled by tailor made solutions.
For both councils now is the moment to invest in energy saving in housing and construction. This is not only a question of money but also of encouraging and energizing people to make their houses energy friendly and increase the comfort of renovating.
