The 'Route Plan climate neutral city buildings' project started from the obligation to draw up EPC-NRs of the Bruges city buildings. In addition, the assignment consisted of actively using the data from the EPC-NRs to develop a route plan to make the buildings more sustainable towards a climate neutral building heritage in 2050, a 'Road to Carbon Neutral'. Within the assignment, EPC-NRs were prepared for 67 sites. The roadmap includes various energy-saving measures per building or cluster of buildings, such as insulation, heat pump techniques, connection to a heat network, solar panels, relighting, steering, ... each with their investment costs, energy savings and^{CO2 reductions}. Clear readable graphs of these are generated.

What is special about the route plan is that it is dynamic: the city has the freedom to adjust a number of things over the years. For example, the city can change the implementation year of a particular measure, include the final investment cost after the measure has been implemented, update energy consumption annually, etc. In this way, the route plan is a working tool for the city to stay "on track" with its goals and align with strategic property management.
