Intention of sustainable living
Student Experience signed a mutual intention of sustainable living together with Bouwinvest. The intention of sustainable living should also be signed by tenants when accepting their studio. This contains agreements that all parties will adhere to, which have to do with making the complex and life in it more sustainable.
Gasless
This complex does not rely on gas for its energy needs. Instead, we use alternative energy sources such as electricity, solar power, and other renewable sources, which reduce our environmental impact.
Glass
Double glazing with low emissivity treatment is used to achieve a higher thermal insulation. It also provides solar control, taking advantage of solar radiation in winter while limiting the same heat in warmer seasons.
Green spaces
The green courtyard is filled with local plant species that promote biodiversity and attract local fauna.
Air purification system
Mechanical air ventilation purifies the air in the complex by removing polluted air and replacing it with clean air.
Lighting
You'll find LED lights in the entire complex. To minimize light pollution, the lights of the complex are dimmed as much as possible between 10 PM and 6 AM.
Rental unit
At the TULU smart rental unit, you can rent handy and non-regular-use items, such as a vacuum cleaner, game consoles, board games, and more. For a small fee, students can rent these items whenever they need them, which minimizes the need to purchase new items for short-term use.
Reusable water bottles
Upon arrival at the studio, a welcome package, including a reusable water bottle from Join the Pipe, awaits the students to inspire them to buy less bottled water and instead drink water from the tap.
Waste separation and recycling
Students are encouraged to separate their waste, recycle materials such as glass and paper, and dispose of them in the designated containers near the complex. Through informative articles about sustainability and waste separation, we aim to help students create eco-friendly habits.
Individually measured energy usage
In our long stay complexes, we measure individual energy usage. This ensures that residents are charged based on their precise energy consumption, creating more awareness of their environmental impact and promoting responsible energy use.
Hello Energy
We've partnered up with Hello Energy to become more involved with sustainability. On the screen in the lounge, you can see real-time energy usage and sustainability data of the complex. Additionally, Hello Energy organizes challenges aimed at creating eco-friendly habits and awareness.
Sports facilities
The rooftop sports field promotes a healthy lifestyle. Together with FC Urban, weekly football matches are organized on the rooftop sports field. Join us for one of our sports events such as boot camps, yoga sessions or basketball games.
News
On our news page, we share weekly articles about different topics such as well-being and sustainability and practical guides that help students settle into their new homes.
Student-initiated and community events
We organize events with students and for students, based on their needs and interests. From Rooftop Movie Nights and football matches to flea markets and social drinks, all events have the shared goal of bringing students together.
Sustainability events
Students can participate in sustainability events such as flea markets, vegan cooking classes, and clothing swap parties and join online challenges to minimize their ecological footprint and become more mindful of their habits.
24/7 duty manager and security
Every day from 6 AM - 10 PM a duty manager is present. During the night, you can rely on the security guard. In addition, security cameras are present at various locations in and around the complex.
Personal attention
The Student Experience team strives to offer a personalized approach to any question or request.
Duty managers aim to recognize all students by name and face to make them feel at home in the complex.
Eco-friendly clothing for staff
