Egedal in the future
In April 2008, the City Council in Egedal passed a new Plan and Agenda 21 strategy that will make Egedal the most ambitious municipality in Denmark within energy efficient buildings. Egedal’s strategy is to pass on the low energy concept from Stenløse South and broaden the requirements for low energy houses and buildings.
The new Plan and Agenda 21 strategy in Egedal also takes energy renovation of public buildings to a higher level. 3 million euro has been allocated to energy management and savings in the municipality’s existing public building stock.
Through the Danish energy performance certification scheme, the municipality will draw up guidelines as to how the allocated amount will be invested in the best possible way.
The municipality has also agreed to publish its energy use on the website of the Danish Electricity Saving Trust as a way to commit itself to become even more energy efficient.
