Description
This measure provided financial assistance to low-income owner-occupants that have bought a house that is of poor quality. The grant was given in the form of a 'rolling fund', whereby the home-owner would need to pay back the additional value of the house if it would be sold again.
Results
The buildings that participated improved from an EPC-score of 519 kWh/m2 to 244 kWh/m2.
