3 Inroducion: Sources of GHG emissions in Bern Due o he low carbon inensiy of he Swiss elecriciy mix he elecriciy consumpion is responsible for abou 5%. Heaing sysems make up abou 67% of all GHG emissions in Bern. Road ranspor 13% Miscellaneous 4% Wase incineraion 11% Agriculure 1% Gas fired HS 28% According o McKinsey&Co. 45% of he abaemen poenial is in he building secor. Mos of i wih a negaive cos.
