Self-renovation could be a way of achieving the climate objectives of the Brussels-Capital Region's Renovation Plan more quickly, i.e. attaining an average C+ energy performance for residential buildings by 2050. It would also enable a response to the rise in energy prices, allowing those in need to be included in the renovation of Brussels' heritage. The aim of this study is to verify whether these assumptions can be applied in the Brussels-Capital Region.

The land of La Sauvagère was once part of the Forêt de Soignes. It was sold to the Société Générale at the same time as the Forest, it was sold and then cleared from 1831-33. At the beginning of the 20th century, Albert Blieck, an industrialist in Molenbeek, had a villa built there designed by the architect Fritz Seeldrayers, in the middle of a park laid out by the landscape architect Jules Buyssens and the rock cutter François Dumilieu, two figures of the Jardin picturesque movement. Two successive owners have subsequently changed the contours and character of this private estate, which was relatively neglected for twenty years after the Second World War. Bought by the Commune of Uccle in 1964, it became a public green space public green space a few years later and is home to various sports facilities and domestic animals. Its proximity to other preserved natural areas (Kauwberg, Geleytsbeek valley, Engeland plateau, Verrewinkel wood, Fond Roy...) justifies its inclusion in the in the Natura 2000 network in 2016.

Brussels-Capital Region : This map shows the Health Impact Screening score for heat stress (0-8) in the Brussels Capital Region. It was produced as part of the 2020 study on the "Impact of 'Nature-Based Solutions' (NBS) on urban residents' exposure to air pollution, noise pollution or high temperatures - Overview of general knowledge and recommendations for the Brussels-Capital Region". This map is based on the maximum Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) map of 24 August 2016. For the methodology used, see p.48. The study report (in dutch) is available at http://document.environnement.brussels/opac_css/elecfile/NatureBasedSolutions

This dataset corresponds to the workplace mobility plans in the Brussels-Capital Region. It is made of one geometric class.

The dataset covers concentrations of pollutants subject to quality standard, pollutants posing a risk for environment and health, other pollutant and pollutant indicators mesured in groundwater characterised in the Frame Water Directive (2000/60/EC). The dataset also includes assessment of chemical status of groundwater and the identification and reversal of significant and sustained trends.

This dataset is based on measurements and inspections carried out by the scientific experts at Brussels Environment and presents the results of their investigations into all issues related to the evolution of water in the Brussels-Capital Region. In addition, the Bruwater application provided by Brussels Environment allows users to consult data on surface water and groundwater in the Brussels-Capital Region.

Brussels-Capital Region : location of Brussels drinking water catchment drainage gallery operated by VIVAQUA. Each section of the drainage gallery is named. Classified as protection area 1 of water extraction (with the extraction wells).

This dataset contains information on the water quality requirements for surface waters (rivers, lakes, coastal waters and transitional waters) of the Brussels region in order to protect the aquatic ecosystem and, by extension, human health.
