At the Lyssach site, the owner Helvetica, together with enshift AG, implemented a comprehensive energy concept. The building, which houses tenants such as MediaMarkt, Ochsner Sport and other retail tenants, has thus become a flagship project for sustainable retail properties.

More InformationAt Helvetica, Buchs Property, enshift helped turn a conventional building into a high-performing, low-emission property—without interrupting operations or requiring upfront capital. With a tailored mix of solar power and efficient heating, the site now runs cleaner, costs less to operate, and is better prepared for the future. The transformation shows what’s possible when smart energy strategy meets real-world execution.
The pitched roof was fully renovated and equipped with a 503 kWp photovoltaic system. Thanks to a self-consumption association (ZEV), tenants — including MediaMarkt and Ochsner Sport — can directly use the locally generated solar power. This significantly reduces external electricity demand and lowers CO₂ emissions by 23.2%, making the property a model for sustainable retail energy use.
The 306 kW heat pump works seamlessly with the photovoltaic and battery systems to provide efficient heating and cooling. By using renewable energy directly on-site, the system reduces dependency on fossil fuels and contributes to the 23.2% CO₂ savings compared to previous energy consumption.
A modern battery storage system complements the PV installation by storing surplus energy and making it available on demand. This setup increases energy autonomy, smooths load peaks, and optimizes self-consumption rates. For retailers, this means predictable, stable energy costs, while customers benefit from a shopping center that actively integrates sustainability into daily operations.
The reversible heat pumps provide sustainable heating in winter and cooling in summer – independent of outside temperatures
Helvetica benefits from state-of-the-art technology and cost savings without needing to invest its own capital
Combining with a powerful PV system enables the use of self-produced solar energy, increasing self-consumption and economic viability
In addition to reducing operating costs and CO₂ emissions, the solution improves the property’s energy rating, increases marketability, and reduces long-term vacancy risk
