Case Study: Energy and Resource Efficiency in Building Construction and Management - City of Zürich, Switzerland

View the full Case Study on the Procura+ Website

Background

Energy and ecological aspects of city development and building management have a long tradition in Zürich, dating back to the beginning of the 80s. In 1997, the city council decided to introduce an Environmental Management System (EMS) according to ISO 14001. Under the resulting management system, a list of sustainable development goals for city-owned new and refurbished buildings was drawn up and approved in 2002. The goals became known as the 7 Milestones for Energy and Resource Efficient Building Construction and Management, incorporating several energy standards used in Switzerland and across Europe.

This is one of a number of case studies on Green Procurement available on the Procura+ website
