1 Primary energy consumption is the consumption of non-renewable energy resources such as oil, gas, coal or uranium. In contrast to final energy,
which considers only the amount of energy needed for use, energy resources include all upstream levels of energy provision.
Additional key figures are set out in the table of figures. ( 99)
Each year we conduct a comprehensive
eco-audit ( 20). On the basis of this
analysis we draw the the necessary environmental
conclusions and set our objectives.
The focus is on energy consumption
– in the transport of goods and passengers,
operation of buildings and plant and
employee commuting. Two other key
aspects are water and paper consumption.
Our environmental objectives ( 11) are
based primarily on the requirements
of “Swiss Energy” regarding energy efficiency
and Switzerland’s obligations
under the Kyoto protocol regarding CO2
reduction. ( 12) In the energy field
we pursue two main thrusts: firstly, increasing
energy efficiency and secondly
increasing the share of renewable energies.
Heat
Since 2000 we have reduced our heat
requirements by 13.9 percent at the enduse
energy level and by 14.7 percent at
the primary energy level. uring the
same period we have increased the share
of energy from renewable sources from
7.5 percent to 17.1 percent. We have
thus been able to maintain our heating
costs at the same level despite rising
prices.
In terms of heat, implementation of the
Minergy standard is the most important
measure for energy efficiency. The
construction method alone can reduce
energy consumption by more than half
throughout the building’s entire useful
life. New builds, renovations and refurbishments
such as the parcel centres
already set up in aillens, Frauenfeld and
Härkingen and the new letter centres are
completed to this standard.
If a building has been built to be energyefficient
it must be operated accordingly.
We have concluded energy-savings contracts
with a system of bonuses and surcharges
with external specialists for the
eleven most energy-intensive properties.
They guarantee a reduction in consumption
of 15 percent, which is to be realized
through optimizing the company’s building
installations. The best example is the
