MINERGIE®
More quality of life and lower energy consumption
MINERGIE® is the modern way to build. As at August 2009, 13,691 buildings have been certified according to MINERGIE®, 402 buildings according to MINERGIE®-P, 50 buildings according to MINERGIE®-ECO, and 36 according to MINERGIE®-P-ECO.

MINERGIE® follows a clear brand strategy and has successfully established itself in the marketplace as a concept.

The different standards
The four standards MINERGIE®, MINERGIE-P®, MINERGIE-ECO® and MINERGIE-P-ECO® guarantee living and working comfort, efficient use of energy and economy.
With regard to energy efficiency, MINERGIE® is the standard, while MINERGIE- P® is the high efficiency variant. The two Eco standards combine these quality features with aspects of health and building ecology.
