Building MSF OCB environmental roadmap
Decarbonize electricity & energy production
📍Reduce fossil fuel produced electricity thanks to renewable resources (photovoltaic panels, wind turbines) and appropriate generators sizing.
📍Use solar energy for specific equipment (hotwater production, water pumps for boreholes…)
📍Produce electricity or energy from waste or from fatal heat (co-generation installed on incinerators or generators, methanisation…)
📍Subscribe to a decarbonated energy supplier for the buildings where relevant

For making water supply systems energy efficient or neutral:
- Install solarized or at least solar-ready pumping systems as a standard for new constructions or rehabilitations
- Explore the use of solarized electrochlorination for water treatment to reduce transport of chlorine generating products
- Favor gravity-fed water distribution systems requiring no energy input of pumped distribution systems
- Conduct proper and regular sizing and maintenance off all water supply system components to avoid break-down and extend their lifetime
Most of these measures will also facilitate future handover of these facilities
