Minergie and LEED certification has been an integral part of planning and construction at the Circle for 12 years. In the presence of Christian Appert, CEO Amstein + Walthert AG, Martin Kull, CEO and owner HRS Real Estate AG, Daniel Scheifele, Chief Real Estate Officer, Flughafen Z\u00fcrich AG, Giorgio Engeli, Head Real Estate Portfolio Management Switzerland, Swiss Life Asset Managers, and Stefan Feldmann, Head The Circle, Flughafen Z\u00fcrich AG, the team around The Circle celebrated on Monday, June 27, 2022, the goal they have now achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beautiful, functional, climate-optimized<\/strong> Thanks to intensive cooperation between the Minergie certification body and those responsible for the circle, the high requirements of the Minergie quality label for the building envelope and ventilation could also be met. Andreas Meyer Primavesi, Managing Director of Minergie, is pleased that the result ultimately benefits everyone: “Especially with today’s energy prices, every kilowatt hour of energy saved is worth it – not only for the climate, but also financially”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Into the net-zero energy future<\/strong> Das gr\u00f6sste Minergie-Geb\u00e4ude der Schweiz steht in Kloten: In einer feierlichen Zeremonie \u00fcbergab Marc M\u00e4chler,\u202fRegierungsrat Kanton St. Gallen und Pr\u00e4sident Minergie, das definitive Zertifikat an die Miteigent\u00fcmerschaft The Circle.

With a good 200,000 m 2<\/sup> energy reference area, the circle accounted for 6% of the certified Minergie area in the year of provisional certification, but was only one of around 1,900 buildings. This shows the size and importance of this extraordinary building in the Swiss context. The Circle is the largest Minergie-certified building in Switzerland. According to government councilor Marc M\u00e4chler, the Minergie certificate means that – in addition to all other requirements and uses – the building is also climate-optimized. Climate-optimized means \u00abthat this building does not accelerate climate change and that it uses resources carefully. It is efficient and works almost entirely with renewable energy instead of fossil energy.\u201d\u202f<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the leading Swiss building label Minergie, more than 12 million tons of CO 2<\/sub> and 67 million megawatt hours of energy have been saved since 1998 thanks to over 53,000 Minergie buildings compared to the minimum legal requirements. Minergie certifies around 3 million m 2<\/sup> of energy reference area per year. In close coordination with the cantons, Minergie always leads the way and is therefore a pioneer in cantonal energy laws. This interaction has worked since the beginning and continues successfully. Minergie is currently looking very closely at the energy used and the greenhouse gas emissions in the construction of a building. And secondly, Minergie is striving to improve the operating phase: Extensive, digitized building data is used to measure the energy flows during operation in order to then carry out operational optimization where necessary on the basis of the monitoring. For years, fossil-free operation – even with modernization – Minergie is moving more and more towards net zero. The Minergie-A-ECO standard comes closest to the Swiss net-zero building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
