- Reduce energy consumption in all sectors through energy conservation and efficiency, in order to<br />

provide better services while reducing costs and impacts, and<br />

- Promote energy production from locally available renewable resources in order to cover as far as<br />

possible energy needs from these decarbonised sources.<br />

The City of <strong>Luxor</strong> - Governorate of <strong>Luxor</strong> developed and announced a Strategic Plan 2017, which promotes<br />

many projects in the areas of infrastructure. The strategy is centred on the objective of promoting <strong>Luxor</strong> as a<br />

green city. Within this strategic plan, converting Governorate building to more sustainable practices, energy<br />

conservation and efficiency as well as developing energy production from renewable sources is essential, to<br />

demonstrate public authorities’ leadership.<br />

In addition, the Governorate is also intending to support the plan by informing and raising awareness of all<br />

Governorate’ staff and citizens on the impact of climate change, upcoming risks and adaptation actions, as<br />

well as the importance of applying sustainable energy measures.<br />

Therefore, this priority action # 5 Green Governorate Buildings Plan - City of <strong>Luxor</strong> is in line with the tentative<br />

vision and strategy of the Governorate of <strong>Luxor</strong> and supports its implementation.<br />

Process<br />

The Environmental Awareness Unit (EAU) will be a key component of the <strong>SECAP</strong> implementation, as most of<br />

the impacts expected for the action plan, depend on the adequate mobilization and engagement of<br />

stakeholders to cease the opportunities offered to reduce energy consumption. Pursuing so, would contribute<br />

to the success of the <strong>SECAP</strong>.<br />

The planned action is set through the following assessments and development:<br />

• Preliminary plan and specific study of developing an awareness unit,<br />

• Allocating staff for the Awareness Unit,<br />

• Involvement of Stakeholders,<br />

• Preliminary plan to study the possibility of installing solar PV systems onto the Governorate buildings’<br />

roofs,<br />
