5.1.5. Environmental public awareness unit<br />
1. General presentation<br />
Al-Qurna Village – Priority action # 5 for <strong>SECAP</strong><br />
Title: ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC AWARENESS UNIT<br />
Summary of the Action<br />
As municipality staff, population and local stakeholders lack information and need to be<br />
mobilised to act on energy conservation / efficiency, environmental protection and<br />
protection of Heritage and archaeological sites. It is necessary to strengthen efforts to<br />
inform and engage all the publics in contributing to the implementation of the different<br />
components of the <strong>SECAP</strong>.<br />
<strong>Luxor</strong> Governorate will set up a dedicated unit, focusing on raising awareness in different<br />
public audiences to optimise the impact of the measures proposed to reduce energy<br />
consumption and improve the quality of life and the protection of heritage and<br />
monuments in the city.<br />
PS. This activity could be for the <strong>SECAP</strong> purpose for the whole city and not just Al-Qurna.<br />
However, the thought awareness campaign could be launched in and focused on an Al-<br />
Qurna as an action and catalyst area.<br />
General Objectives of the project<br />
Focusing on 3 priority targets - Governorate staff / Children / Mothers/ Hotels:<br />
• Inform on issues at stake regarding climate change and energy management,<br />
• Provide guidance to behavioural changes to fight climate change,<br />
• Invite all stakeholders to engage in concrete actions to help reducing energy<br />

2. Technical description<br />
With the success of the awareness project, we assumed a reduction of 15% in residential buildings.<br />
In 2015, the population of the city of <strong>Luxor</strong> is equal to 586,025 persons, consuming 690,697 MWh/year of electricity.<br />
With a rough calculation, we can estimate that the 142,189 persons living in Al Qurna (population of Al Qurna), consume<br />
167,585 MWh/year, since (142,189x690,697) / 586,025 = 167,585 MWh/year<br />
With a reduction of 15%: 167,585 MWh/year x 0.15 = 25,137.75 MWh/year<br />
Thus, a reduction of electricity of 25,137.75 MWh/year equaling 0.55 tCO2/MWh x 25,137.75 = 13,825.76 tCO2<br />
