Climate change is leading to both sea level rise and increased flooding, both of which threaten poperties. One solution is to build floating houses, that rise and fall with altering water levels. Ijburg, a suberb of Amsterdam is the floating house capital, with increasing numbers of flaoting houses being constructed.

Many of the houses have solar PV panels on the roof to generate their own electricity. Zoneiland contains 520 solar panels covering an area of approximately 7000 m2. Annually it provides 9,750 gigajoules of renewable, sustainable energy, equal to 10% of Almere city's total annual energy needs. The rest of the energy is provided by the local power plant in Almere.
