The Swiss Confederation's Energy Strategy 2050
The “Confederation leading by example in the energy sector” initiative contributes to the implementation of the Swiss Confederation's Energy Strategy 2050. The Confederation level also includes companies affiliated with the Confederation such as Swiss Post. The primary aim is to reduce energy consumption with appropriate measures and, in so doing, to lead by example. Starting from the base year 2006, it seeks an increase in energy efficiency of 25 percent by 2020. Areas of action include: buildings and renewable energy, mobility, data centers and green IT. This includes administrative activities, services and products, and employee behaviour. 39 measures were worked out collectively. The partners have also defined company-specific measures: in the case of Swiss Post, for example, the new guidelines on heating, ventilation, refrigeration and sanitation facilities. They contain recommendations for building technology and are supplemented by additional specifications for construction projects and equipment.
