Green and sustainability

In Entree, you live, work, exercise and relax in green surroundings. This is an important quality that distinguishes Entree from other urban areas. Green facades, green roofs and balconies or terraces with green decoration are good for water storage and to combat heat stress.

In this area, Zoetermeer goes along with the latest developments in sustainability and climate adaptation. The greenery is open at the edge of the area and becomes more concentrated and intimate towards the city street, Afrikaweg. The greenery at the edges provides a connection to the surroundings. It will also connect the existing parks. The public area in Entrance will be attractive to residents and visitors because of the greenery. There will also be greenery on and attached to the buildings, such as green facades, green roofs and balconies or terraces with a green decoration. The greenery will be designed to promote an active and healthy lifestyle. The public space will therefore have a playful and green character. Besides space for active leisure activities, there are also quiet sheltered places where urban nature can be heard and seen.

Climate-proof and self-sufficient

Entree uses development of climate adaptation knowledge to design public spaces accordingly. The buildings will also take into account new ways of building that are necessitated by climate change and national policy. Entree will be gasless and as much as possible energy-neutral.

The large number of homes in a mixed-use setting will be used to take a big step in realizing Zoetermeer's sustainability ambitions. Developments in technology that make sustainability possible are rapid, while actually realizing real estate takes more time. Entree is committed to contributing to these developments.
