Top ten in Switzerland

Jun. 17, 2005 - Switzerland - A web site providing potential customers with information on energy use and other information on products has been set up in Switzerland.

The site, called ‘top ten' (www.topten.ch), is an initiative of the Schweizeriche Agentur für Energieeffizienz, S.A.F.E., Consuprint and Oerlikon Journalisten AG, and is supported and promoted by WWF Switzerland. It has been running for four years, receiving 550 000 visitors in 2004, a 50 % increase since 2003. Current product categories are: office, lighting, recreation, house, transport, electrical appliances and green power. Among the products are heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. The green power products are all labelled according to the Swiss green energy label, ‘naturemade Star'.

The concept of the top ten web site is now extended to France and Austria, and a new web site (www.topten.info) will be set up to connect the national top ten web sites.
