City of <strong>Luxor</strong> – Governorate of <strong>Luxor</strong> Priority Action # 3 for <strong>SECAP</strong><br />
1. General presentation<br />
3. Green Residential Buildings Plan<br />
# 3<br />
Summary of the Action Residential Buildings in the City of <strong>Luxor</strong><br />
The residential buildings’ sector in the City of <strong>Luxor</strong> is the second highest<br />
sector in terms of energy consumption (25% and 1,243 GWh/y) and<br />
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (31% and 501 kteqCO 2/y).<br />
The <strong>Luxor</strong> Electricity Distribution Company (LEPCo) distributes the electricity<br />
used in residential buildings. The City of <strong>Luxor</strong> counts with 159,604 residential<br />
units (2005 reference).<br />
The residential buildings consume a total of 690,697 MWh of electricity<br />
annually, with a connection rate of 100%. Natural gas consumption of the<br />
sector reaches 147 m 3 /building with an annual consumption of 2,250,465 LPG<br />
cylinders and a connection rate of 60% (more connections are underway),<br />
whereas tertiary buildings consume 70,680 cylinders/ year.<br />
Action Summary<br />
The City of <strong>Luxor</strong> wants to move forward to holistically solve the challenges to<br />
be faced in the residential sector by adopting the “Green Residential Plan”<br />
(GRP) promoting a sustainable approach in residential buildings combining<br />
energy efficiency and renewable energy development – solar PV and SWH<br />
systems.<br />

The Action Plan #3 is to green the Building sector in the City of <strong>Luxor</strong>.<br />
General Objectives of the project<br />
The Green Residential Plan aims to reduce energy consumption and GHG<br />
emissions through an awareness programme to enhance users’ behaviours on<br />
the saving tools and methods and a major investment plan to improve building<br />
energy efficiency. This action is also designed to promote renewable energy<br />
sources: solar PV and solar water heating (SWH). SWH systems will avoid using<br />
electricity to warm water, which is not efficient and very costly when the sun<br />
is available at no cost.<br />
Status of the Action:<br />
• New<br />
• Planned<br />
• Following previous action.<br />
The necessary awareness plan can be unrolled in phases focusing on 2 priority<br />
targets - Governorate staff and building users (including mothers and children)<br />
to:<br />
• Inform on issues related to energy management and climate change,<br />
• Provide guidance to behavioural changes to reduce energy<br />
consumption,<br />
