Minergie sites set high standards for energy efficiency, renewable energies and greenhouse gas emissions. To introduce the new label, we first had to define the requirements for the sites. In addition to the energy criteria, we drew up specifications for heat protection, climate-adapted design of outdoor spaces, water management and green spaces.
Working with other experts, we developed a concise catalogue of criteria and tested them in a series of pilot projects. The experience gained from these will be used to adapt the regulations.
