Sustainability of De Drenkwaard: works started
Multifunctional center De Drenkwaard in Zuidland is being made more sustainable. The municipal council has agreed to provide a credit of € 893,353 to make the sustainability measures possible. The works have already started.
Stichting De Drenkwaard, which manages and operates the building, has taken the initiative to make the building more energy-efficient. This is partly due to rising energy prices and the social function that the building fulfills. The municipality, owner of the building, supports the plan. The sustainability measures contribute to the municipal goal of reducing CO2 emissions. The measures include, among other things, the application of insulation, the installation of heat pumps and the placement of solar panels. The most extensive works will be carried out during the summer (holidays), so that visitors will have little to no inconvenience. The works are expected to be completed by mid-August 2026.
