Figure 3: Energy performance index for home-to-work trips (in KWh/travel.worker) at the former<br />

municipality scale; data: 2001<br />

The annual transport energy consumption for home-to-work trips per former municipality is mapped in<br />

Figure 4. The observations made for the energy performance index are inverted. Former municipalities<br />

with high transport energy consumption are strongly linked with areas with high density population and<br />

highlight the importance of these areas in terms of potential energy savings. The population affected<br />

by the energy-savings measures undertaken in those areas is particularly large. The total annual<br />

energy consumption for home-to-work trips in the entire region amounts to 6804 GWh.<br />
