SAK and NORM work together for greater energy efficiency
St.Gallisch-Appenzellische Kraftwerke AG (SAK) has initiated a partnership with Norm Technologies from Zurich to analyze and improve the energy efficiency and CO2 emissions of buildings. This collaboration aims to offer innovative energy solutions and supports SAK's goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.
The energy supply company St.Gallisch-Appenzellische Kraftwerke AG(SAK) is entering into a partnership with Norm Technologies(NORM) from Zurich. NORM determines the energy efficiency of buildings as well as their CO2 emissions and refurbishment options. NORM has set itself the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector.
“This partnership with NORM is in line with our commitment to promoting innovative solutions that help our customers to increase their energy efficiency and make an active contribution to environmental protection,” said Philipp Inderbitzin, Head of Energy Solutions at SAK, in a press release. The collaboration will enable SAK to offer its customers a holistic energy analysis for their properties.
The first step of the analysis is carried out digitally and free of charge via the SAK website. In a second step, energy experts prepare a more in-depth analysis and show options for a customised renovation roadmap. With NORM’s expertise, SAK can advance its goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, which in turn supports the goals of the Swiss Climate and Innovation Act, the press release explains. In return, “working with an established partner like SAK enables us to come one step closer to our vision of decarbonising the real estate sector”, according to NORM founder Gian Reto à Porta.
