As a member of Klimabündnis Lëtzebuerg since 2000, and a signatory of the Climate Pact since 2012, the City of Luxembourg has put in place a set of measures aimed at reducing energy consumption (particularly of fossil fuels) and climate impacts. These include:
the adoption of low-energy or passive house standards for municipal buildings;
the use and development of renewable energies, including solar collectors, photovoltaic systems, hydroelectric power, wood-fuelled heating;
energy-saving technologies in municipal buildings and for public lighting;
replacement of individual heating systems by more efficient district heating;
eco-friendly mobility options in combination with the air quality plan;
On 26 May 2016, the City of Luxembourg received certification under the European Energy Award programme for the first time, having achieved a score of 54%. The aim is to achieve a score of at least 75% in the medium term.
As a signatory to the Climate Pact and in collaboration with Ëmweltberodung Lëtzebuerg, the City of Luxembourg publishes a number of practical recommendations on its website that can help you protect the environment and take action against climate change.
