(CONNECT) Elektrizitätswerk Zürich wants to support the real estate sector on its way to net zero. The company, which is owned by the City of Zurich, has revised and reissued a corresponding guide. "Net zero for real estate: an opportunity for future-oriented investments" is intended to serve as a knowledge base for developers and property owners.

Reducing emissions in the building sector is sometimes a challenge, writes ewz in a press release on the guidelines. It presents practicable measures that are worthwhile from both an ecological and an economic point of view. The guidelines are based on the SIA standard 390/1 known as the climate path. It was defined at the beginning of the year as an aid for clients and planners. The requirements of the climate path are high "but achievable with today's construction possibilities", according to the press release.

Interested parties can request the guide online. For this purpose, ewz provides a link to the corresponding form in the notification. ce/hs
