The national bicycle strategy 4.| Denmark - on your bike! Denmark - on your bike! Published by: Ministry of Transport Frederiksholms Kanal 27F 1220 Copenhagen K Prepared by: Ministry of Transport ISBN internet version: 978-87-91511-93-6 Frontpage image: Danish Road Directorate Niclas Jessen, Panorama Ulrik Jantzen FOREWORD | 5v Foreword Denmark has a long tradition for cycling and that makes us somewhat unique in the world. We must retain our strong cycling culture and pass it on to our children so they can get the same pleasure of moving through traf- fic on a bicycle. Unfortunately, we cycle less today than we did previously. It is quite normal for Danes to get behind the wheel of the car, even for short trips. It is com- fortable and convenient in our busy daily lives. If we are to succeed in en- couraging more people to use their bicycles, therefore, we must make it more attractive and thus easier to cycle to work, school and on leisure trips. We can achieve this by, for example, creating better cycle paths, fewer stops, secure bicycle parking spaces and new cycling facilities. In the government, we are working for a green transition and we want to promote cycling, because cycling is an inexpensive, healthy and clean form of transport. The state has never before done as much in this regard as we are doing at present.

  • ODENSE in Municipal Buildings Denmark
    Energy Management ODENSE in Municipal Buildings Denmark The experience of Denmark in energy labelling for buildings is currently the most advanced in Europe. The energy management approach of Odense was developed in the context of the long Danish history of promoting energy saving in the building sector. The city of Odense has progressively reduced the energy consumption of its buildings over the past twenty years through better monitoring, management and improved equipment and insulation standards saving 48 millions euros over the period 1981-2002. THE CITY Located at the very heart of Denmark, Odense, Denmark's third-largest city and the capital of the island of Funen (Denmark's second-largest island), has about 185 000 inhabitants. The city of Hans Christian Andersen is one of the oldest cities of the country and dates back to pre-Viking times. A bishop's seat from the 10th century, it became a centre of pilgrimage to the shrine of Canute. It grew after its port and harbour were built and the Odense Canal was opened in 1804. It is now a major shipbuilding and manufacturing centre. Climatic data: Annual mean temperature: 7.9 °C Degree days: 3,112 DANISH CONTEXT The energy-labelling scheme for buildings The energy-labelling scheme is a part of the overall Danish policy to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and especially to reduce the energy consumption of existing buildings. The general rules for the scheme are given in the Act to Promote Energy and Water Savings in Buildings of June 1996 and the two Executive Orders on Energy Labelling etc.
