Energy
The Building Code and Fire Protection Department, with its assigned area of responsibility based on the provisions of the Energy Ordinance, ensures that the minimum requirements for energy-saving construction and operation are met.
In addition to the regulations for thermal protection, the department enforces the standardizations concerning indoor swimming pools, outdoor swimming pools and whirlpools, system requirements of supplementary energy standards (SIA), the permissibility of ventilation and air conditioning systems, as well as regulations relating to energy performance and the energy certificate.
A form is available to verify the energy performance of swimming pools.
In the context of the approval of the environmental compatibility of the project "Malbun snowmaking facility", among other things, specifications regarding the annual submission of the snowmaking protocol as well as an energy and water balance, have been made mandatory.
