BxL – Learning on the Move

• 162 km²

• 1,1 millions People (7056 inhab./km²)(+13% 2001-2010 and expected + 25% by 2060) • Old building stock

• 75% of energy consumption by buildings

• Very low renewable energy potential (3%)

• Large regional competences: environment, energy, mobility, urbanism, housing, …

•Ambitious policy: Reduce 30% of Greenhouse gas emissions by 2025

BRUSSELS CONTEXT 2001 : worst student in Europe!

Before 2004 : no energy strategy !

… but

new policy willing

* Be AMBITIOUSSet the objectives as high as possible !

* birth of a Strategy = convince by large scale experiments
