3. Technical description
Link to Governorate (municipal) development plan
The SECAP is built on three drivers: a) reduce energy consumption; b) develop energy production; and c)
climate adaptation actions. Hence, the GHG emissions from Residential sector are vital for the Governorate
of Luxor strategy on climate change adaptation - CCA.
Residential sector is one the five main sectors that will be affected by climate change risks. Thus, it is vital to
develop a comprehensive plan to green the residential buildings to attain the vision of the City of Luxor and
Governorate Luxor in making the City of Luxor a green city and improving quality of life. The GRP will also
increase the use of RE to improve the Governorate’s sustainable energy prospectus, yet contribute to
achieving Egypt’s Vision and National Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) 2030. Thus, Governorate of
Luxor will contribute to Egypt’s SDS key performance indicators – KPIs that are relevant to SECAP, mainly in
Energy, Urban Development, Environment, and Domestic energy policy, e.g., energy:
- Secure energy resources,
- Increase reliance on local resources,
- Reduce the intensity of energy consumption, and
- Raise the actual economic contribution of energy sector in the national income.
The Priority Action #3 – Sustainable Approach to Green Residential Buildings would also support the
Governorate strategy in attaining the set policies in the Nation Climate Change Communication, mainly the
policies targeting development of the three underlined related pillars:
- More efficient use of energy, especially by end users,
- Increase the use of renewable energy as an alternative to non-renewable sources, and
- Energy efficiency is a cornerstone to be targeted by policy makers to decouple demand on energy and
economic growth.
