ESG E-Learning

In the first module, the relevance of the sustainability of properties is demonstrated and the most important concepts (kWh, EBF, etc.) are explained. 

The chapter on energy efficiency describes, among other things, the factors that significantly influence the energy requirements of properties. It also discusses the energy label and various building labels.

The chapter on heating systems provides an insight into the variety of fossil and non-fossil heating systems, their advantages and disadvantages and potential synergy effects when combining different systems.

Even the refurbishment of individual parts of a building can significantly reduce the energy requirements of an existing property. In this chapter, an in-depth analysis is provided on which elements have an impact on energy requirements and CO₂emissions and which economic aspects come into play in the evaluation of different measures.

This chapter begins by describing the structural requirements for the use of solar systems, followed by a thorough introduction to solar thermal and photovoltaic technologies. This is followed by the integration of both technologies into the heating system and other building technology. Finally, financial aspects such as subsidies and feed-in tariffs are considered.

This chapter focuses on the cantonal model regulations in the energy sector (MuKEn 2025). It explains which energy regulations apply to the property sector and what the changes to cantonal energy legislation mean for homeowners.

Climate conditions are changing and extreme events are on the rise. At the same time, the transition to a climate-neutral world is underway. This chapter examines physical risks and transition risks, and explores their impact on property values.
