On the occasion of Future Energy Day 2021 on October 29, 2021, the committed municipalities of Berne were awarded the Minergie rating. The municipality of Ostermundigen is ranked third in the large municipality category.

The Minergie Ranking is a competition launched by Minergie Switzerland. The 2018 classification was originally developed by the canton of Bern, and the 2018 classification was conducted for the first time both for the canton of Bern and at the national level.

Municipalities are important actors in promoting energy-saving and renewable energies construction methods. Ranking stimulates the exchange of experiences between municipalities and competition stimulates municipalities to use their rooms to maneuver effectively.

Third place thanks to the Mundiger lighthouse project

Thanks to the lighthouse project for a total of eight kindergartens already partially planned and implemented in the Minergie-A-Eco building standard, the municipality was able to secure third place behind the municipalities of Zollikofen and Münsingen. The new kindergarten buildings are designed as modular buildings made of prefabricated timber elements, meet Minergie-A-Eco standards and have a photovoltaic system on the roof.

Minergie in brief

Minergie is a voluntary Swiss construction standard for buildings. The focus is on the living and working comfort of users in new buildings and renovations.

This is made possible by the high-quality building envelope and regular renewal of air. Minergie buildings require low energy and the highest possible percentage of renewable energies.

Construction according to Minergie is very suitable for both municipal and private builders. It can reduce energy consumption and increase living comfort.
