Climate control completely rebuilt:

The social housing in Tiel will not only get a new facade and an updated interior with a new kitchen, bathroom and toilet, sustainability and energy efficiency were also considered. 

"The new facades and roofs are significantly better insulated and consequently more airtight. It is therefore important to ventilate sufficiently in order to optimize the quality of the indoor air. Therefore, we are installing a demand-controlled ventilation system with heat recovery in each apartment," says André van Hal, project manager at Werkendamse Verwarmings Industrie. "Furthermore, low-temperature convectors were chosen, linked to a collective heating system. These will heat the homes more evenly, consistently and environmentally friendly than a traditional installation and will also save on energy, especially since the supply temperature of the water is significantly lower than with conventional central heating."

Installations completely rebuilt

De Werkendamse, an independent entity within Kemkens Oss B.V. since last year, has specialized in the development and installation as well as maintenance and service of central heating, climate control, air conditioning, measurement and control technology and renewable energy for more than 50 years. "For De Batouwe, we received the contract through main contractor De Vree and Sliepen and housing corporation Stichting Thius. We were involved in the project at an early stage, which allowed us to think along about the installation," indicates the project manager. "The preparations took one and a half years and just before the summer of 2020 we started the implementation. This will take place in several phases and will be completed before the construction period. For us, this is an everyday project, yet it doesn't happen very often when renovating that one builds all installations completely new."
