Energy Commissioners of the Federal Government
…military barracks etc. and to work out recommendations for energy efficiency improvements. They represent a link between the users of the buildings and the higher building authorities and utilities, without subjects of directives and no budget for building renovations on their own disposal. These special energy representatives carry out energy accounting, prepare annual energy statistics, acquire energy plans along with a catalogue prioritising specific energy saving measures. Furthermore they instruct personnel who operate the heating and hot sanitary equipment. More than twenty special energy representatives are responsible for about 2,300 buildings with a total volume of 62 million m³.

Voluntary Agreements with Industry (CO2 Target Agreements)
…central element of Switzerlands climate policy, is to reduce CO2 emissions by 10% by 2010 versus the 1990 level. This goal is to be primarily achieved through voluntary measures on the part of companies and private individuals. Since in accordance with the CO2 statistics of the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment the minimum reduction target of 6% for 2006 versus the level recorded in 1990 was not met, a fee of 12 Swiss francs per tonne of CO2 emissions is to be collected on fossil combustibles. The law provides that high-consumption companies, large-scale consumers and consumer groups…

Energy Efficiency Network for Buildings
The Energy Efficiency Network for Buildings (EENB) was established in 1996. Through formalised co-operation, participants such as private owners of commercial buildings, house building co-operatives, local authorities and building administrators exchanged information and experience on energy efficiency projects completed in various buildings. The networks are also used as a forum for developing strategies for energy administration in buildings. Participants are obliged to submit information on their use of energy in buildings. This information is fed into a national statistics database on energy use in buildings. Yearly reports have been available since 1998.

The Future of Electricity in the Middle East and North Africa
Electricity demand in the MENA region This study analyses electricity demand in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and its evolution to 2035. MENA has long been a cornerstone of global energy supply. But the region is fast becoming a central character in the story of global energy demand, particularly that of electricity use. Rapid population growth, urbanisation, and rising temperatures are driving up electricity demand. Since 2000, MENA has become one of the top contributors to global electricity demand growth. The region’s climate, characterised by extreme heat and water scarcity, implies that reliable and resilient electricity…
