100% carbon-free operation thanks to the zero-zero strategy
ENERGY AND EMISSIONS
Zug Estates is aware of its responsibility on the topic of climate change. We have set ourselves the goal of operating our entire real estate portfolio nearly free of carbon emissions by 2023 and are already extremely close to that goal at our current level of 0.9 kg of carbon dioxide per square metre of energy reference area.
The energy systems at the Suurstoffi site and the City Centre / Metalli site are key factors behind these low emission figures.
FOUR ACTION FIELDS

Energy origin
Energy consumption
Mobility
Absenkpfad
We have reduced our greenhouse gas emissions from 17.3 to the current level of 0.9 kg per square metre of energy reference area (-94.8%) since 2010.
TWO SITES – TWO ENERGY SYSTEMS
The energy systems at the Suurstoffi site and the City Centre / Metalli site are key factors behind these low emission figures.
Brief explanation of the Suurstoffi energy system
The energy system installed at the Suurstoffi site in Rotkreuz produces no carbon dioxide emissions. The energy required for hot water, heating and cooling in the summer is provided by large geothermal installations under the property and every building is connected to those installations through an anergy grid.
Circulago lake water district heating and cooling system
The Metalli shopping area and the first few surrounding buildings are being supplied with renewable heating and cooling energy from Lake Zug since 1 April 2020.
E-MOBILITY
The promotion of e-mobility is an important field of action in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
E-parking for all tenants
If required, all tenants of Zug Estates can quickly and easily obtain a parking space with an e-charging station. Patrik Stillhart (CEO) and Martin Jöri (Head of Strategic Site Management) explain how the principle works.
