large residential area. Here paved the municipality planning division in collaboration with the politicians the
way for the integration of energy-efficient solutions in the new buildings. They did so by making more
stringent energy requirements than the former building code. The intention was to create demand and

This has meant that the buildings in the area have increased insulation, and uses technologies such as heat
pumps, solar cells, solar thermal and geothermal heating.

a geographic area (including the private construction, trade, transport, etc.) is to achieve a 4% reduction in
energy consumption for 2020. The objective is realistic based on an assessment of the framework
conditions and available means. The objective was specifically identified when the administration
presented a catalogue of possible solution strategies to the planning committee. Subsequently, the
planning committee selected the solution strategies, which could realistically be implemented. Afterwards,
the administration has calculated that it corresponds to an overall reduction in energy consumption of 4%,
as shown in Table 22
order to achieve the objective. The strategy is to
strengthen the ongoing work on energy optimization of
the municipality's own properties. Furthermore, there is
a desire to realize the total viable potential for
investment in energy renovations in their own buildings
