Fedesco works exclusively for the Federal Public Services and other federal government agencies. This translates to a total of approximately 1800 buildings (owned or leased by government) with a total energy and water spend of approximately EUR 150 million. These buildings include the administration buildings but also police stations, courts, prisons, scientific and cultural agencies, parliament, the Senate, the Royal Palace, amongst others. Most of these buildings are really old, and almost all are in need of energy saving solutions. It’s easy to see the benefits of such a strategy - contextualised in the federal policies on sustainable development and energy efficiency (2004-2008 and 2009-2012) and Belgium’s National Climate Plan (2002-2012), but affording this approach is often extremely costly. Everyone wants energy saving now, but wants to pay for it later. This is exactly the kind of necessity that Fedesco makes possible.
