Netherlands: sustainable housing measures 2016-2019

Less than half of respondents to a 2019 survey in the Netherlands indicated they had taken measures in the past three years to make their house more sustainable. The source mentions that in most cases the respondents took "relatively easy" steps, such as installing solar panels or replacing a boiler (which also happens to be mandatory in the Netherlands once every 15 years). Insulation of roofs, floors or cavity walls is much less common in the Netherlands, probably because Dutch consumers are not familiar with the net gains of such measures.

Which sustainable measures did you take in your house in the last three years?*
