Toekomstbestendige Leefomgeving

The Toekomstbestendige Leefomgeving (Future-Proof Living Environment) programme is a Dutch innovation initiative supported by the National Growth Fund, bringing together more than 100 companies, research institutions, and public authorities to accelerate the transition towards an emission-free, circular, and climate-resilient built environment by 2050. With €60 million in funding from the National Growth Fund, the programme supports scalable technological and social innovations in areas such as circular construction, industrialised renovation, digitalisation, and data-driven building management.

In Utrecht, the programme supported the development of automated energy performance analyses for Positive Energy Building (PEB) retrofitting, using data-driven methods and digital tools to model building performance, evaluate renovation scenarios, and optimise retrofit measures. The approach enables housing providers to rapidly assess energy-saving and renewable energy potential across building portfolios, reducing the time and costs associated with traditional energy modelling while supporting the large-scale delivery of positive energy renovations.
