Buildings and Settlements Recommendations Nine recommendations for the future

The subject of “buildings and settlements” affects a wide range of stakeholders – these actually include everyone involved in the energy system, namely the overall population, all businesses, energy providers, professional associations, public administrative bodies and politicians.

However, the following recommendations are aimed at those stakeholders who could exert a direct influence on the future shaping of energy provision and the energy consumption of Switzerland’s building stock. In particular, these include the following:

• Building users (private households and businesses)
• Building owners
• Energy suppliers
• Politicians (federal government, cantons, municipalities)
• Associations

Furthermore, recommendations have primarily been formulated that can be derived from the research work conducted in the NRP Energy as well as the areas identified in which action is required. The recommendations are also relevant with respect to the transformation of our energy system.
