The Minergie standard aims to reduce energy and water use, greenhouse gas emissions, promote renewable energy and healthy environments for the final user. It ensures that buildings and districts are adapted to climate change, that healthy indoor and outdoor spaces are created, and that a high level of comfort is provided which can be maintained over the long term.

The origin of Minergie

Minergie was developed in 1998 in Switzerland. It is the most important and most requested construction standard in the country today. Since the beginning, Minergie has also certified projects abroad according to the Swiss standard in 12 different countries. In 2021, the building standard for Latin America was published. A standard that is adapted to the sociocultural aspects, regulatory framework, suppliers and climate zones of Latin America. And we are pleased to announce that the Minergie standard for districts in Latin America is currently in the pilot phase and will be published in 2025.
