Comprehensive energy systems by EKZ

The pressure on holistic ecosystems around real estate and their energy solutions is growing. EKZ simplifies this task with clever solutions.

The pressure on holistic ecosystems around real estate and their energy solutions is growing. EKZ simplifies this task with clever solutions.

The combination and central management of electricity generation and storage, heat and cooling generation and electromobility in an integrated energy system leads to the simplification of property management, maximum living and working comfort and optimal energy efficiency in production. In addition, ecological sustainability is ensured.

The goals of the Energy Strategy 2050 are being built here. Most of the Verdeblu development has been completed and inhabited since autumn 2019. It is noteworthy that this development covers a large proportion of its energy needs itself, and that exclusively from renewable sources.

"The specifications of the Energy Strategy 2050 are also an opportunity for the real estate industry," explains Dieter Stutz from Atlantis AG, which is active in the areas of environmental consulting, settlement planning and architecture and who developed the project. The heat supply via groundwater was the best and most convincing solution for the area. Atlantis planned and implemented this complex construction project together with EKZ.

On-site energy production
The “Grand Chemin” development was built in Epalinges in western Switzerland, with some of the electricity required being produced on site by a photovoltaic system (PV). A new multi-family house is being built in Emmen (LU), which will be characterized by four heat pump systems with groundwater as an energy source and a photovoltaic system with ZEV. Seen in this way, the future of energy has long since begun in this country as well.
