GEAK and GEAK Plus: What you should know

A direct comparison between buildings can be highly beneficial when it comes to evaluating purchase and rental offers or modernisation plans. The GEAK energy label and the GEAK Plus advisory report allow you to make this kind of comparison.

GEAK is the official cantonal energy label, and the four-page GEAK document indicates the energy class of the building envelope and services on a scale from A to G. 

GEAK Plus is the advisory report produced by GEAK experts, an extension of the basic GEAK product. GEAK Plus presents you with three possible options for energy modernisation.
