Figure 2: Considered themes in BEI (%tCO2eq/year) – City of <strong>Hurghada</strong>, Governorate of Red Sea 2015<br />
Compared to the Covenant of Mayors (CoM) recommendations for <strong>SECAP</strong>s:<br />
• Non-energetic and energetic GHG emissions for waste management, energetic GHG emissions for water and<br />
wastewater management (pumping, treatment, etc.) were taken into account as the two cities (<strong>Hurghada</strong> and<br />
Luxor) can plan actions on both of these topics; and<br />
• Non-energetic emissions of industrial activities (refrigerant leakage of buildings and vehicles) were not taken<br />
into account, as information on these topics wasn’t sufficient. Note that these topics are not mandatory<br />
according to the CoM.<br />
Additionally, it is important to understand what the tertiary buildings are. These are namely all buildings that are neither<br />
residential, nor for industrial or agricultural use. For example, stores, offices, banks, hospitals, logistical warehouses,<br />
sports and leisure facilities, and other private services buildings.<br />
1.3. Detailed methodology on each sector<br />
An Excel spreadsheet file was created to gather all data collected from the Governorate of Red Sea, specifically for the<br />
City of <strong>Hurghada</strong> (administrative borders) stating each source, year of reference and calculations made. This file allows<br />
data crunching to calculate GHG emissions from information related to energy consumption.<br />
1.3.1. Common data sets<br />

1.3.1.2 Employment statistics<br />
The employment figures are typical of <strong>Hurghada</strong> activities. Tourism is the main sector, with more than 33,000 jobs. So,<br />
to take into consideration this specificity, a specific part was created in the BEI.<br />
