Housing Market & EPC in Hoeilaart

Hoeilaart, located in the heart of the Sonian Forest, is a municipality with a distinctly green and residential character. Historic grape cultivation has, as in neighbouring Overijse, led to a typical building pattern with low, elongated homes originally connected to greenhouses. Many of these homes have since been converted, but the original structure — low ceilings, single walls, limited crawl spaces — makes energy renovation challenging. In the villa neighbourhoods around the Kapucijnenbos are larger 1960s homes that often still have original wooden window frames, charming but energetically problematic. The location in a protected forest area brings additional restrictions for solar panels and exterior façade insulation, so interior insulation is sometimes the only option — with all the moisture risks that entails. The EPC certificate takes these limitations into account and gives a realistic picture of the energy performance. The Hoeilaart municipality works with the Regional Energy House for renovation trajectory guidance.
