• 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
