Homegrade

In the Brussels Region, the residential sector is responsible for 40% of total energy consumption. All citizens can therefore contribute to a significant reduction in their environmental impact by renovating their homes. To obtain help, they can contact Homegrade free of charge, which will guide and stimulate them towards responsible use and renovation of their homes.

As a privileged contact point for all Brussels renovators, Homegrade is a key player in the Renolution StrategyOpens in new windowExternal link. It is supported by Brussels EnvironmentOpens in new windowExternal link, UrbanOpens in new windowExternal link and the Brussels-Capital RegionOpens in new windowExternal link.

Homegrade informs and advises you on:

• Building components and technical equipment (photovoltaic solar panels, boiler, ventilation, rainwater tanks, etc.) in order to optimise their use and energy performance
• Acoustics, energy, insulation, renting, heritage, small co-ownerships, urban planning and everyday actions
• Renolution premiums and credits

Homegrade accompanies you, step by step, in your renovation project:

• Prioritisation of work
• Technical advice and help in choosing materials
• Applications for permits without an architect
• Quotation analysis
• Expertise in acoustics and heritage
• Preparation of premium application files

Homegrade and the Réseau Habitat are two complementary structures that share a common objective. The Réseau Habitat differs in that it is more locally based. It brings together nine Brussels associations which are active in urban renewal and in supporting the resident’s participation in the revitalization of their neighbourhood. It is close to the inhabitants and their socio-economic reality.
