In 2010 the Heizplan company built an energy-efficient factory and office lock in the form of an energy-plus building, winning the Swiss Solar Prize for "new building" category and meeting Minergie standard. The building produces four times more energy than it consumes. Two PV plants were perfectly integrated into the southern and eastern facades of the building. There is a large plant mounted on the flat roof, as well as two tracking systems. A heat pump operated by solar electricity generates the energy required for heating and warm water.
