Entrepreneurs want to be able to reduce their energy and waste costs. However, they do not always have the means to afford the advice of an engineering firm.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

SuisseEnergie has created the PEIK energy audits. They allow SMEs to have access to expert advice to identify savings and to benefit from grants for auditing as well as for assistance in the implementation of projects.

Example of an SME in French-speaking Switzerland with an annual energy bill of CHF 50,000.
