==__NOEDITSECTION__General==
De Kroeven is a district in the city of Roosendaal built between 1958 and 1966. The original houses were built with cavity walls and had Label G. 246 of the terraced houses were upgraded to passive house retrofit standard in 2010 changing the energy label from G to A++. 
The retrofitting process took place in two parts, with two different architects and building methods:

== Facts==
Reducing CO2 emission by 60%
From using 2000m3 gas / year to 400 m3 in 2011.

==Finance==
an extra investment of € 25.000 - € 29.000 to upgrade to passivehouse level.

Rent and energy costs together form housing expenses.
By adding 65 euro to the rent and reducing the energy costs by 65 euro/month the finance of this project was realized.
Guarantee: if cost of saving is less then rent increase, AlleeWonen for a maximum of 5 years pays back the difference

Other actions used to recover the investment:
- selling existing property
- extra rent increase in future
- increase property value
