As a contractor, architect or engineer, you are building the world of tomorrow. Therefore, you must also prepare your projects for that world of tomorrow.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developments in the renewable energy field do not stand still. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want your next housing project to be truly sustainable and future-proof, invest in hybrid and source-independent systems. Systems that are open to all forms of energy. Grey and green, now and in the future.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This allows your building project to grow with the latest innovations and enables energy-neutral living.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Why energy-neutral living is so important<\/h2>\n<h3>Environmental benefits<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Residential buildings account for 45% of our CO\u2082 emissions. 35% of these come from energy.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fossil fuels are not only exhaustible, they are also depleting our planet. To meet our rising energy demand and ensure the quality of life for future generations, the switch to energy-neutral buildings is essential.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Political Independence<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For our fossil fuel supplies, we are largely dependent on oil-rich countries. Consequently, fossil energy supply is a powerful political tool. If we want to guarantee our political and economic stability, we have to convert to alternative sources of energy. And just as important: prepare our buildings for these new energy sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Financial benefits<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy and geothermal energy are inherently free. However, generating them requires a certain amount of investment. Collective residential buildings are therefore the place to invest in renewable energy. Because, united in an energy community, the investment is quickly recovered.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The building increases in value, and the purchase of additional energy is brought to an absolute minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Energy-neutral living, already possible with SEDS<\/h2>\n<h3>Source-independent system<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With an innovative and sustainable system, SEDS provides collective housing units with domestic hot water and seasonal comfort temperature. The system is completely <a href=\"https:\/\/seds.be\/seds\/#source-independent\">source-independent<\/a>. As a result, SEDS is fully prepared for the rise of renewable energy sources. As a sole source, or in a hybrid setup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Focus on energy efficiency<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to renewable energy generation, energy efficiency is just as important in making energy-neutral living possible.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why SEDS is equipped with a buffer tank and a heat pump controlled by smart techniques and real-time information.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domestic hot water and heating were separated. By doing so, the water temperature could be lowered significantly and even made seasonal. Only water that is actually consumed is heated to higher temperatures.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This leads to unprecedented energy efficiency. Thus, making SEDS the most profitable square meter of your building project.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Cheapest on the market<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, CO\u2082-neutral living must be accessible to everyone. This means that it must also be affordable. Or better yet: cheaper than classic systems.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEDS is already cost-effective from 15 residential units. In combination with a PV system, it even comes out as the cheapest in the test.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the system also equals the life span of the building itself. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that&#8217;s sustainable building. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That durability and low monthly costs give SEDS <a href=\"https:\/\/seds.be\/key-features\/#lowest-tco\">the lowest TCO<\/a> (total cost of ownership) on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Become a leader of the green switch<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/seds.be\/make-an-appointment\/\">Partner with SEDS<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preparing for energy-neutral living To end the energy crisis, we must move away from fossil fuels.
