Reflecting proudly on last week's Networking Event with the theme "Local Initiatives in the Circular Economy." 🔄🌍

It was enlightening to witness how companies of varying sizes can contribute to the circular economy, emphasizing a shared interest. Special gratitude to our four speakers for providing valuable insights into their projects and delivering a truly memorable message.

Our Christmas-themed reception was a hit! Amidst sipping refreshing beverages and indulging in sustainable snacks, attendees engaged in meaningful conversations about the circular economy. Hoping everyone relished the experience and made meaningful connections with like-minded individuals. A big thank you to all who attended; we look forward to seeing you at our next event! 🎉

PROJECT FINISHED. ✅ Webtool Three steps to a heat pump. ⬇ Get convinced to invest in renewable heating sources.

Because of the ongoing energy transition, society is being pushed to invest in renewable energy sources in all types of buildings. For energy systems at home, one of the most interesting investments concerns the installation of a heat pump. Yet, the costs of this technology are quite high and hence people are hesitant to make this choice.

As there is no time to waste in the shift to renewable energy supplies, the CORE-team has tried to tackle this hesitation in the choice for heat pumps. We have developed an online, freely accessible webtool that sets out the different types of heat pumps that are suitable for your home. In only three steps, the tool generates the potential savings of doing the investment and thus contributing to the green energy transition. With these results you will gain more insights in why you should do the investment.

Here's how it works:
Visit our website: https://www.thinkcore.be/nl/webtool-3-stappen-naar-een-warmtepomp and click on the green button to go to the tool.

Step 1️⃣: Input some basic data about your house. 🏚

Step 2️⃣: Provide us with information about your current energy source. 📝

Step 3️⃣: Fill in your yearly consumption based on which energy source is installed. ⚡

By following these simple steps, the tool will generate a clear overview of the results in a graph and a downloadable PDF-file. The results give insight in the potential CO2-, energy and cost savings the different types of heat pumps can achieve in comparison to your current situation. 📊

As previously mentioned, every Monday we will highlight a sustainable and cooperative initiative under the motto "Make Monday Green Again." There are many sustainable and cooperative initiatives in the Leuven area that are worth promoting, and CORE wants to use its position to raise awareness about these initiatives. Our third partner is vzw de Ruimtevaart:

Every day, the Energy Savers of De RuimteVaart visit vulnerable people at their homes. Whether rain or shine -- they travel by bike through Leuven & Herent and provide customized advice to encourage people to consume less energy and save on their energy bills.

The Energy Savers team makes an appointment to visit your home by phone or email. First, they review your energy bill together: are you receiving all the benefits you are entitled to? Do you have the cheapest supplier? Then, they take a tour around your home and provide tips on how to save energy. They also check the safety of old appliances. Afterward, they install our free energy-saving materials such as energy-saving light bulbs, radiator foil, water-saving showerheads, draft strips, etc.

Together, they want to ensure that everyone can participate in a world where consciously managing energy consumption is becoming increasingly important.
The expert advice and materials provided by vzw de Ruimtevaart are free of charge for people who have a social tariff, increased reimbursement, customers of the OCMW, people with a budget meter, tenants of social housing... and this is for residents of Greater Leuven (Leuven, Wilsele, Kessel-Lo, Wijgmaal, Heverlee) and Herent.

*Since yesterday was Labor Day in Belgium, we direct our message to the residents of Hawaii where it is still Monday.

As previously mentioned, we will highlight a sustainable and cooperative initiative every Monday under the motto "Make Monday Green Again." There are many sustainable and cooperative initiatives in the Leuven area that are worth promoting, and CORE wants to use its position to raise awareness about these initiatives. Our second partner is Empty4U:

Empty4U, clearing out households in a sustainable way. We have a passion for transforming cluttered spaces into clean and open spaces. Additionally, we move away from the typical "container in front of the door and everything in it" approach. Those times are, according to us, over. We focus as much as possible on recycling and recovering materials and furniture. Things that would otherwise end up in landfills, we do everything we can to give them a second life.

We are optimists and constantly looking for new and better ways to offer furniture or materials a sustainable future. This ranges from donating to charities, helping those who are struggling, as well as restoring furniture that can last for years to come. Our vision is to save the world some waste by mainly focusing on sustainable use.

Our mission summed up briefly: Your concerns, our passion. Professional, efficient, and, above all, as sustainable as possible. A familiar profession in a new and sustainable guise.

Are you interested in the field of (bio)technological innovation and entrepreneurship? Are you looking for a unique and challenging work experience? Do not hesitate to apply! The deadline to register is until April 15th.

The students from 6 WEWI and 6 MTWE at HDC Leuven recently participated in our educational workshops on "Energy Bikes" and "Blue Heat"📚🌊 🚵

The aim of the "energy bikes" workshop is to give an idea of how much "energy" it takes to generate one kWh of electricity by pedaling themselves. With this, CORE wants to create awareness about where our energy comes from and to create knowledge about the fact that it is not so obvious that our lights come on with just a push of a switch. ⚡🎗️

A big thank you for the warm welcome and a big thumbs up to both the teachers and students of HDC Leuven. Your dedication and involvement show that our future is in good hands! 💚

Ons jubileum, CORE 10Y, was een waar succes maar dit was niet mogelijk geweest zonder onze duurzame sponsors!🌳💚

Färm sponsorde alle duurzame goodiebags waarin 4-5 duurzame lokale producten in zaten! Färm is een coöperatief netwerk van biowinkels, die graag meer betekenis geven aan je aankopen. Dankzij onze producten kan je biologisch, lokaal én ethisch consumeren. Bovendien steun je zelfstandige producenten en familiebedrijven én vermijd je multinationale landbouwbedrijven. Färm voor lekker en respectvol eten! Hierdoor hebben we de kracht van coöperatief en duurzaam ondernemen getoond!♻️🌳

De KU Leuven sponsorde het geheel ook financieel. Dit toont het geloof van de KU Leuven in CORE en motiveert ons om samen meer projecten uit te voeren. De meeste recente samenwerking was het project met MNM waar we met de Energybikes Sander Gilles & Laura Govaerts een week van stroom konden voorzien.💡🌳

Mongozo was ook van de partij als duurzame sponsor. Een fairtrade en biologisch bier mag zeker niet ontbreken op een event van CORE cv.
♻️🍺

LZL-Events steunde het event ook. Twee studentenonderneming die samen de handen bij elkaar sloegen om te laten zien wat studenten allemaal kunnen verwezenlijken. Dit resulteerde in een prachtige, kleurrijke setting.🌈💡

Ook CORE zal hier aanwezig zijn! Kom en neem deel aan onze workshop!

Van MNM.be en de KU Leuven kregen we de kans om mee te werken aan het programma Expeditie Gillis & Govaerts (Laura Govaerts&Sander Gillis). Hun missie: overleven in het bos en een inzamelactie om 5000 bomen te planten!

Daarnaast willen ze volledig hun eigen groene energie opwekken voor hun radiostudio en daarvoor deden ze beroep op CORE en onze Energy Bikes. Luisteraars en sportievelingen kunnen komen fietsen om mee de radio in de ether te houden. Met dank aan onze COREnauten kunnen de luisteraars voelen hoeveel energie het kost om elektriciteit op te wekken! ⚡💡
