Brussels-Capital Region: location of the buildings winning the "Exemplary Buildings" calls for proposals organised with the aim of encouraging initiatives in eco-construction and integrated renovation. In order to be selected, winners must fulfil a series of criteria with regard to energy and management of water and waste, but also comfort and aesthetics, all while remaining financially accessible for the Brussels market. The dataset contains the number and name of the projects, and a link to an description factsheet.

Brussels-Capital Region: thicknesses of the Stratigraphic Units of the Brussels-Capital Region (SU/BCR), excluding quaternary units and Paleozoic bedrock. Thicknesses (meters) are represented by contour lines spaced with a 2.5m pitch. Data is limited to the Brussels-Capital Region’s border extended with a 500 m buffer zone. These thicknesses were extracted from the BruStrati3D v1.1 geological model. This data is generated from models and may contain errors, inaccuracies and gaps. It has informative value and may under no circumstances replace a study carried out by an expert. Bruxelles Environnement cannot be held liable for the consequences of the use of this information.

Brussels-Capital Region: Sensitivity classes applicable to the soil state registry, defined according to the regional land use plan (2017) and according to the correspondence established in the decree of 29 March 2018. Soil pollution response standards are derived from this. The sensitivity class is to be adapted to 'special area' if the site under study is in a Natura 2000 area or in a drinking water catchment protection area. The dataset specifies whether the site is yes (t=true) or no (f=false) in such an area. There are 6 different sensitivity classes: (1) residential, (2) particular, (3) industrial, (4) ZFM and ZEMU, (5) ZIR, ZIRAD and RF, (6) other.

Brussels-Capital Region: elevation of the tops of the Stratigraphic Units of the Brussels-Capital Region (SU/BCR), excluding quaternary units. Elevations (m-DNG/TAW) are represented by contour lines spaced with a 2.5m pitch. Data is limited to the Brussels-Capital Region’s border extended with a 500 m buffer zone. These elevations were extracted from the BruStrati3D v1.1 geological model. This data is generated from models and may contain errors, inaccuracies and gaps. It has informative value and may under no circumstances replace a study carried out by an expert. Bruxelles Environnement cannot be held liable for the consequences of the use of this information.

Brussels-Capital Region : protected areas in the Brussels Sonian Forest: vulnerable planting or regeneration plots, refuges for wildlife, fragile being recolonized areas. In those areas, walkers must always stay on the paths and dogs must be leashed (Order of 30 March 1995).

Brussels-Capital Region : this directive has as an aim the prevention of the major accidents implying of dangerous substances and the limitation of their consequences for the man and the environment, in order to ensure in a coherent and effective way in all the country of the high levels of protection. The geographical data file SEVESO consists of several classes of objects which make it possible to locate all the SEVESO sites on the territory of the area of Brussels.

Brussels-Capital Region: extent of sub-drainage-basin (or sub-catchment area) of the rivers in the Brussels Region and surrounding area

Brussels-Capital Region : Areas intended for the conservation and the regeneration of a natural environment that is of high biological value as it shelters rare animal and vegetable species or boasts considerable biological diversity

Brussels-Capital Region : spatial extents of the stratigraphic units (SU/BCR), SU/BCR_011 Backfill and SU/BCR_12 Silts cover excepted. This data is limited to the Brussels-Capital Region’s border extended with a 500 m buffer zone. The hydrogeological unit (HU/BCR) of each SU/BRC is indicated in the attribute data. These spatial extents were extracted from the BruStrati3D v1.1 geological model, except for the extensions of the quaternary units which were extracted from the Databank Ondergrond Vlaanderen database. This data is generated from models and may contain errors, inaccuracies and gaps. It has informative value and may under no circumstances replace a study carried out by an expert.
