This new scheme aims to encourage renovations, particularly for energy-inefficient homes with poor PEB (Building Energy Performance) labels. Aid is provided in the form of reduced or zero-interest loans. For low and middle-income households, a portion of the borrowed amount can be forgiven, equating to significant direct aid.
To access these schemes, an energy audit is necessary. This audit identifies the most relevant works and helps build a coherent renovation plan. RénoBW, an energy renovation support service backed by the municipality of Hélécine and active in several communes in Brabant Wallon, can assist in understanding the PEB certificate, identifying priority works, estimating potential energy savings, providing information on financial aid, guiding through procedures, and recommending competent auditors and contractors.
The goal is to enable citizens to realize their projects based on neutral and independent advice. Eligibility conditions depend on household taxable income, technical characteristics of the dwelling, and the targeted energy gain. RénoBW advisors will help assess personal situations.
Free telephone or online appointments can be booked via www.renoBW.be.
