Sustainable energy concepts for decarbonisation (Carbon Shift)
Sustainable buildings are becoming increasingly important, especially for property owners, investors and property managers.
The energy and environmental footprint is now a major factor when it comes to determining the value of a property. Energy costs have a big impact on the total operating costs and, therefore, the key financial indicators, while increasingly strict environmental regulations ramp up the pressure to renovate. In addition, outdated and inefficient properties pose a reputational risk for owners.
That’s exactly where Equans Switzerland comes in – with its Carbon Shift initiative: our sound energy advice, precise building analyses and sophisticated optimisation measures help your property meet the latest requirements and sustainably optimise its energy and climate footprint.
We reduce your carbon footprint – from planning to implementation to operation of your facilities. Integral concept and technical planning services, as well as operational optimisation and energy-saving measures enable us to focus on significantly reducing your energy consumption. We assume responsibility for implementing the energy-saving targets for your commercial properties, production facilities, property portfolios and sites.

Our
approach
Many companies are now faced with the task of rethinking their entire operational energy supply – from electricity and heat supply to cooling processes.
As well as being crucial from an economic standpoint, the efficient use of energy is also a legal requirement. In addition, companies need to establish effective sustainability management systems in order to reduce their environmental footprint and meet investors’ requirements.
Equans Switzerland offers holistic solutions for sustainable energy and load management. We help you sustainably optimise your energy consumption and reduce your operating costs. At the same time, we support you in the area of sustainability management, enabling you to improve your environmental and social contribution without impacting your operational processes.
