The information and exchange platform on energy indicators for cities and municipalities
Everybody knows it, some do it, some do it exemplary, others don’t to anything!
The goal is clear: energy should be used more efficiently in the future and consumption should be reduced. Everyone is called upon to make a contribution – including municipalities, cities and cantons.
Knowledge is not action – but a prerequisite for tackling tasks efficiently and successfully. This is where the tools4energy.ch platform comes into play, with information on application purposes, networks, links and detailed information on applications, methods and tools. It was developed in the framework of the “Energy Accounting” project with support from the Hirschmann Foundation.
