Minergie<\/span> 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<\/span> AG, Daniel Scheifele, Chief Real Estate<\/span> Officer, Flughafen Zürich AG, Giorgio Engeli, Head Real Estate<\/span> Portfolio Management Switzerland, Swiss Life Asset<\/span> Managers, and Stefan Feldmann, Head The Circle, Flughafen Zürich 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>
With a good 200,000 m 2<\/sup> energy reference area, the circle accounted for 6% of the certified Minergie<\/span> 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 Mächler, the Minergie<\/span> certificate means that – in addition to all other requirements and uses – the building is also climate-optimized. Climate-optimized means «that 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.” <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to intensive cooperation between the Minergie<\/span> certification body and those responsible for the circle, the high requirements of the Minergie<\/span> quality label for the building envelope and ventilation could also be met. Andreas Meyer Primavesi, Managing Director of Minergie<\/span>, 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>
With the leading Swiss building label Minergie<\/span>, 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<\/span> buildings compared to the minimum legal requirements. Minergie<\/span> certifies around 3 million m 2<\/sup> of energy reference area per year. In close coordination with the cantons, Minergie<\/span> always leads the way and is therefore a pioneer in cantonal energy laws. This interaction has worked since the beginning and continues successfully. Minergie<\/span> is currently looking very closely at the energy used and the greenhouse gas emissions in the construction of a building. And secondly, Minergie<\/span> 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<\/span> 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":"
