The cantons are responsible for reducing CO2 emissions from buildings and submit reports on this topic to the federal government.
These regular reports include information about targeted and planned CO2 reduction measures and their impact as well as developments in CO2 emissions from buildings in cantonal territories.
Reporting to the FOEN is coordinated with reporting to the SFOE under the Energy Act. The reporting process is further explained in the document below.
