If there are no guidelines on urban solar planning, explain the political process to develop the legal bounding framework. At what administrative level would a urban solar planning obligation be decided and managed? How much time would/can such a process last?.................................................................................5 2.1.2. Did you have tentative start-ups of similar experience in the past? .......................................................6 2.2. Do you or would you face problems with large exemption categories, e.g. historical buildings or landscape protected areas?.......................................................................................................................................6 The Greater Lyon and especially the city of Lyon offers a very rich historical heritage. These historic buildings constitute a protected perimeter which makes complex an intervention on the nearby buildings.........................6 2.3. How is the urban solar planning obligation monitored, or by which means would be adequate to monitor/control the effective implementation of the urban solar planning requisites?............................................8 For us, to create a very strong increase of solar installations in urban zones, it is necessary: .............................8 1-that the Greater Lyon could, experimentally, impose certain points in the PLU. As for example, to impose the installation of thermal solar panels for the new constructions of housing ...............................................................8 2-That the validation of these bonds is made by the municipalities directly, during the instruction of the building permit ..........................................................................................................................................................................8 3-That there are specific trainings for the actors of the energy (craftsmen, French national architect, professionals of the energy).......................................................................................................................................8 4-that there is a series of tests to validate decisions and make feedback experiences,........................................8 5-and finally, spread most widely these good practices...........................................................................................8 This strategy is in POLIS project ...............................................................................................................................8 Which are the local stakeholders involved in promoting urban solar planning and what is their attitude towards renewable obligation (e.g. are building companies used to renewable)? ...............................................................8 2.4.

Please indicate future construction/renovation projects in your city where effective policy for urban solar planning could be implemented...............................................................................................................................11 3.3.

Political, Legal and economic framework 1.1. Is there a local energy plan or energy strategy in your city? What are the main objectives and targets towards energy efficiency and renewable energies? The Greater Lyon has committed about energy through the climate plan one of Diary 21 axes. Therefore it has committed to reduce out of 20% the greenhouse gases before 2020 (2000 basis). It is the same commitment for energy consumption. Well, the last commmitment is to increase part of renewable energy to 20% out of total comsumption. Final objectif is to reduce by 4 greenhouse gas emissions before 2050 ". Aware that it cannot deal alone with this major challenge, urban community defined 3 axes of intervention: - It’s own Activities and patrimonies (buildings and vehicles, public contracts, industrial plants of purification and waste treatment) which represent between 1 to 5 % out of the GHG emitted and it’s also a strong stake for exemplarity . - public politics or planned by the Urban community (town planning, persons’s moving, social housing, economic development) X impacting on approximately 20 % out of the GHG emitted. - All other activities (moving of goods and persons, especially in transit, economic activities, construction and management of residential buildings, economic activity, general interest). That is why development of renewable energies is a strong axe of the Climate Plan. Objectives for 2020 : - Setting-up of photovoltaic panels for 5,6 millions of m2 ( large roof first ) - Setting-up of thermal solar energy panels for 670 000m2 Source : Diagnosis the Greater Lyon climat Plan. 1.2. Existing local solar photovoltaics/thermal/renewable obligations There is no obligation for setting-up of renewable energy, neither on national level nor on local level. The fact to impose any setting-up for any kind of energy type is impossible on local level However via its referential environmental quality of buildings, Greater Lyon encourages using solar energy : - setting objectives of global low consumption (heating, hot water, electricity, cold and auxiliary) to 60 kWh / m2.year - Imposing a 20% cover rate by renewable energy Only buildings on public grounds sessions, social housing or URBAN DEVELOPMENT ZONES (“ZAC”) (this is a French law arrangement procedure of town planning established by guidance law no 67-1253 of December 30th, 1967 to substitute itself in zone to urbanize first and foremost (“ZUP”), and modified a lot since. It is a procedure of town planning production with a program on several lots. Its objectives could cover the whole zone and therefore more accurate than national regulations) have to respect these rules. Source : referentiel du Grand Lyon 4 1.3.
