How do you renovate with minimal impact on residents?

The transition to a circular economy is changing the way we approach renovations. Moving from traditional demolition to selective dismantling and reuse of building materials is essential for sustainability. This is especially true for social housing and rental properties, where residents often stay in their homes during renovation. How do you minimise inconvenience while ensuring an efficient, high-quality renovation? DUCO offers smart, easy-to-install solutions that unburden both installers and residents.

1. Planning and communication are key

A successful renovation starts with detailed planning and clear communication. DUCO plays a crucial role in streamlining this process, together with housing corporations and contractors. With our smart systems and tools, we can optimally facilitate communication with residents and installers:

• Clear timeline sharing: DUCO provides clear planning and timelines, so residents always know what to expect and when certain work will take place.
  
  
• Fixed point of contact: DUCO advisors are available for questions and support, both for installers and residents. This ensures quick handling of any problems.
  
  
• Fast and efficient troubleshooting: user-friendly tools such as the Duco Installation App allow installers to respond quickly to technical issues, minimising delays for the resident.
  
  
• Involving residents: DUCO provides clear information about the benefits of the renovation, such as improved energy efficiency and air quality. This helps residents understand how the renovation will benefit them and actively involve them in the process.

2. Easy installation and low-maintenance solutions

DUCO offers systems that are easy to install, reducing inconvenience to residents. They are also low-maintenance and contribute to a healthy indoor climate:

• Ventilation solutions: DUCO's ventilation systems provide optimum air quality with minimum maintenance and maximum energy efficiency. The DucoBox Reno and DucoBox Energy Sky are ideal for renovation projects due to their quick installation and compact design.
  
  
  • DucoBox Reno: This compact central ventilation box is the fastest choice for renovations. Thanks to its smart copy function and easy-to-install design, the existing system can be replaced in 25% less time. Offering maximum energy gain through demand control and intelligent sensors, the DucoBox Reno is the perfect solution for renovations.
    
    
  • DucoBox Energy Sky: The ideal ventilation solution for smaller rooms. With a height of only 30 cm, this ventilation box can be flexibly placed on both the ceiling and wall or neatly concealed in a suspended ceiling. Thanks to its light weight, the DucoBox Energy Sky can easily be installed by a single person.
    
    

• Solar shading: DUCO's solar shading is also designed for easy installation and integration into existing facades, providing a seamless and efficient solution that is also aesthetically pleasing.
