Schelpenhoek 3 Diemen

A classic with modern performance

Key Features of Schelpenhoek 3, Diemen:
- Energy efficient: South-facing solar panels with a peak output of 6,600 watts generate approximately 6,500 to 7,000 kWh annually—enough to fully power the house year-round. This also includes sufficient surplus to charge a basic electric vehicle (such as a VW ID.3) for 20,000 to 25,000 kilometers.
- Crawl space insulation: 9 cm of PUR foam (polyurethane foam) insulation under the ground floor.
- During the height of the 2022/23 energy crisis: the property was rented out to 5 students, and total energy costs were only €43.00 per month under a variable-rate energy contract. Documentation available.
- Triple glazing at the rear of the house (installed in 2018) and double glazing at the front (installed in 2021), providing excellent insulation.
- Remote-controlled roller shutters for sun protection, cooling, privacy, and added comfort.
