The bottom line is that Switzerland can no longer emit any greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 (climate-neutral Switzerland). Doing so would help meet Switzerland's internationally agreed goal of keeping global warming at a maximum of 1.5° C compared to pre-industrial times.
In addition, in 2015 the cantonal energy authorities presented their vision for the future of energy in the model regulations of the cantons in the energy sector (MuKEn 2014). The model regulations reflect the lowest common denominator decided upon at the conference of cantonal energy authorities. The aim is to meet the requirements of the federal government's energy strategy across Switzerland with uniform measures. One major part concerns the increase in
energy efficiency in the building sector. This vision is to be implemented across the board in all cantons by the end of 2020.
In addition, the Council of States decided that as of 2023, old buildings, whose heat generation system will be replaced for heating and hot water, may not, per year, generate more than 20 kilograms of CO2 from fossil fuels per square meter of energy reference area. Cantons that implement their own regulations, which are at least equally effective, shall be exempt from the implementation for all building categories covered by the cantonal regulations.
