Summary

The most important associations and organizations in Switzerland active in the heat pump sector are the FWS, GebäudeKlima Schweiz, Suissetec, SVK, ProKlima, SHKT, EnergySchweiz, and of course, the SFOE. The FWS is the Association for Heat Pumps in Switzerland and the responsible authority recognized by the Swiss Confederation and the cantons for the approval of the heat pump quality label. GebäudeKlima Schweiz is the leading association of Swiss manufacturers and suppliers of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technology. The Suissetec is an industry and employers' association for the interests of building technicians. The SVK is the Swiss association for industrial refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump technology. ProKlima is the platform for information exchange among manufacturers and suppliers of products or systems for the air-conditioning and ventilation industry. The SHKT comprises the Swiss heating and air conditioning technicians. EnergySchweiz promotes, above all, the training and further education of installers and planners, the information and advice association of plant operators and the quality assurance of new and existing buildings. The SFOE is the Swiss Federal Office of Energy and the competence center for energy supply and energy use in the Federal Department of Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications. Heat pumps are expected to give an important contribution to meet the goals of the energy strategy 2050. The future cantonal energy laws based on the MuKEn offer a good chance for a higher market share of heat pumps. The increase in taxes on CO2 emissions will increase the use of renewable energies in heat generation.
