Free energy scan (Gratis energiescan)

The energy scan is a quick assessment of the building, similar to an energy audit, but not quite as detailed. A person comes to the house that the tenant/owner requested the scan for, inspects the building, gives tips about energy consumption, heating and lighting and implements minor energy-saving measures valued up to € 25. 

The energy scan is free of charge for special target groups (vulnerable population): 

• 'Protected customers' (people entitled to social tariffs for gas and electricity). 
• Customers with active budget meters for electricity or natural gas. 
• Customers of energy loans. 
• Tenants renting through social housing company or social rental office. 
• Tenants paying less that € 578 (depending on location € 528) per month.
