Since 2017, this graph has been continuously tracking the development of energy consumption in buildings owned and managed by the City of Prague. The resulting value of energy consumption in buildings is mainly influenced by climatic conditions during the heating season. For this reason, the energy consumption values are recalculated according to the degree day method. This calculation method makes it possible to compensate for seasonal climatic fluctuations and to make a fairer comparison of the energy consumed. You can learn more about this method here: https://vytapeni.tzb-info.cz/tabulky-a-vypocty/103-vypocet-denostupnu.

The carbon footprint monitoring is based on the Climate Commitment, which Prague joined in 2019. The Climate Commitment aims to reduce the carbon footprint by 45% compared to 2010. Prague is currently preparing projects to help reduce CO2 production in buildings managed by the Prague City Hall. For this reason, we expect this graph to follow a downward trend in the coming years.

There are many ways to generate electricity from renewable sources. One of them is to generate electricity using photovoltaic panels. This way of generating electricity has seen a boom especially around 2010. Since then, interest in this technology has stagnated until recent years, when the trend of increasing new installations of this technology has returned, as illustrated by this graph.
