Summary of the Action
Current Status – Governorate Buildings in the City of Luxor
The Governorate owns many buildings in different locations representing a
total of 175,800 square meters that could be detailed as follows:
Location: City of Luxor,
Governorate of Luxor
Start date: December 2017
• 142,500 square meters of offices (including, the city hall, administrative
sites, water and sanitation offices, electricity management building,
library, cultural centre, etc.),
• 8,500 square meters of commercial facilities, warehouse and technical
equipment (open), and
• 24,800 square meters of schools and higher institutions.
These buildings’ areas represent roughly 132,000 square meters of roofs to
be equipped with solar PV to generate electricity. The governorate took early
steps in this direction by installing solar PV panels on 4 buildings:
Governorate’s main building; Public library; Governorate’s conference hall;
and College of Fine Arts.
The Governorate buildings in the City of Luxor consume 4,718 MWh/year of
electricity (2015 reference). This electricity consumption is used for lighting,
cooling, office equipment (computer, copiers, etc.), elevator, etc. The annual
electricity bill for municipality buildings alone represents 3,599,961 EGP (173
K €).
On average, electricity consumption in buildings comes from lighting (18%),
cooling and heating (65%), office equipment (computer, copiers, etc.) and
elevators (10%), and water pumps and others (7%).
Project lifetime: 5 years
End: December 2022
Estimated cost €
Technical support & training
60,000 €
Investment 10,842,000 €
LED lamps & sensors 40,000 €
Efficient AC devices 150,000 €
Solar PV 10,000,000 €
SWH 292,000 €
Lighting – buildings: Some efforts were made to switch to efficient bulbs such
as LED lamps, but there is still neither tight control of lighting in buildings, nor
efficient management using motion or occupancy sensors. There is a habit to
switching light on, whatever will be the availability of natural lights, even if
this natural light is sufficient most of the time. No control smart devices such
as motion and occupancy sensors are installed.
Electric equipment – buildings: So far, electric equipment (computers,
copiers, printers, and fax machines, etc.) are not green label products. There
