Due to population growth and ageing, Embuild also predicts a significant increase in capacity will be necessary. “We must utilise this wave of construction and renovation to adapt nursing and care homes to changing climate conditions, including installing good glazing, insulation, and ventilation everywhere, as well as adding external sun shading and air conditioning,” says Niko Demeester, CEO of Embuild.
Embuild highlights that by 2050, there will be a third more people aged 65 to 85 in Belgium, while the number of those over 85 will double. “This will require 486 additional care centres and 7 more hospitals in our country,” it states.
