By 2030, we will improve the energy efficiency of all buildings by 10% and reduce our tCO2eq emissions from heating by 80%.
Calculate savings potential:
Collect all consumption figures and calculate energy savings potential independently or with external advice (e.g. with the subsidised programme from SwissEnergy including a free initial consultation) and create a short and long-term optimisation plan for storage facilities.
Replace heating oil:
Invest in heat pumps for logistics warehouses to minimise emissions from fossil fuel heating.
On-site solar energy:
Assess the feasibility of installing photovoltaic systems on logistics hall roofs.
Calculate energy-saving potential of hall lighting:
Create a basis for optimising the lighting scheme by calculating savings potential in accordance with the new SIA standard 387/4/2023.
Apply for funding:
Submit early applications for funding support through the energy-efficient lighting programme and the programme for replacing transformers and power cables.
Refurbishment of the warehouse lighting:
Optimise and refurbish the lighting scheme of the most energy-intensive storage areas with an efficient combination* of LED, sensor technology and daylight.
*Based on the recommendations of the energylight initiative and light sources in accordance with the Minergie standard.
Replacing windows and doors:
Replace old, inefficient windows and doors with modern, well-insulated versions that minimise heat loss. Select windows with high energy efficiency ratings and thermally separated door systems to reduce heating and cooling requirements.
Install additional thermal insulation:
Reinforce warehouse walls, roofs and floors with highly effective thermal insulation. Use materials with low thermal conductivity to improve insulation and maintain stable internal temperatures, further reducing energy consumption. Trial sustainable insulation materials such as innovative straw building insulation.
Check and optimise the building envelope:
Commission thermographic surveys to identify weak points in the building envelope. Based on results, implement targeted structural measures to eliminate thermal bridges and maximise the building's overall energy efficiency.
Introduction of intelligent building management
Implement an advanced building management system (BMS) that monitors and controls heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in real time. Use modern sensors and algorithms to dynamically adjust temperatures based on occupancy data and external temperatures.
Integration of smart thermostats and zone control
Install smart thermostats that enable precise control of heating and cooling systems and individually regulate different zones within the building. This reduces energy consumption by only heating or cooling required areas.
Regular maintenance and system optimisation
Conduct maintenance and inspections of heating and cooling systems every 2 to 3 years to ensure efficiency. Continuously optimise systems based on performance data and BMS recommendations to ensure long-term energy savings.
Implementing sustainable storage practices reduces tCO2eq emissions, conserves resources and fulfils environmental requirements. These measures reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve competitiveness, while making the company more attractive to environmentally conscious customers and partnerships.
