Abstract | A large multifamily complex of about 21’000 square meters (three buildings) was recently raised in the suburb of Geneva (Switzerland) and was certified Minergie®, a Swiss quality label.
Lessons learnt | The interdisciplinary approach of the energy concept from the beginning of the project, coupled with the close attention given to the execution stage seems to be an effective way to lower the energy consumption of large-scale residential buildings.
