Catalogue of sustainability measures

Accelerating the energy transition calls for overview, insight and simplicity. Homeowners want to know what they are entitled to and get started right away. Municipalities and contractors are looking for a scalable, reliable way to keep information about subsidies and measures up to date.

Who is it for?

• Homeowners and do-it-yourselfers who want to ventilate and insulate their home
• Insulation advisers who draw up insulation plans
• Companies that carry out the work
• Municipalities that care about insulating and ventilating homes

Together with Nij Begun we developed a digital measures catalogue. At the heart of the accompanying API is one job: opening up validated information about sustainability measures in a structured, central way, so different digital systems work together consistently and with current data throughout the subsidy process.

For homeowners that means simplicity: select the measures taken, from roof insulation to draught sealing, and see the matching subsidy amount immediately. No complicated forms, just a clear pdf with the amount you are entitled to.

For municipalities and professionals the strength lies in the structure behind it. Home planning software, resident portals and contractor dashboards always work with the same set of measures, including technical data, subsidy conditions and prices. The admin dashboard keeps all of that current.

• Make prices and eligible measures simple and transparent for residents and professionals
• Real-time management and scalability for municipalities and contractors
• One central source of truth through a public API
• Confidence and overview through market-rate prices and clear specifications

With the measures catalogue as its digital engine, Nij Begun is taking the sustainability effort in Groningen and North Drenthe further. We remain involved in developing and optimising the platform.

This project was made possible by the province of Groningen and Nij Begun.
