Climate Plan - Energy

Combustion in residential and commercial buildings is the main source of greenhouse gas emissions in the region. These emissions come from the energy needed to heat and cool our buildings, supply domestic hot water, lighting,...

Energy is therefore a logical priority for the Climate Plan of the City of Brussels:

drastically reduce energy consumption, particularly in buildings
produce and consume renewable energy locally
improve buildings to make heatwaves more bearable without air conditioning
