Helvetica aims to make its properties more energy-efficient and sustainable. Together with enshift AG, a comprehensive transition to renewable energy is being pursued. A key project of this initiative is equipping multiple buildings with solar panels to ensure a local, sustainable energy supply. An important milestone in this endeavor is the conversion of the commercial building in Thun.

More InformationA state-of-the-art photovoltaic system with an installed capacity of 515 kWp has been installed on the industrial property in Thun, covering a roof area of 2,575 m². The system not only reduces external electricity consumption but also makes a significant contribution to climate protection. The annual CO₂ savings of 35,471 kg highlight the positive environmental impact of this project, making the building a model for sustainable commercial properties. As part of the project, the roof of a neighboring property owned by an inheritance community was also used for renewable energy generation. This previously unused space provided an ideal opportunity to expand the solar portfolio. With an installed capacity of 370 kWp, this system generates green electricity that is supplied directly to a nearby Coop distribution center. Through this intelligent connection between electricity producers and consumers, a regional, sustainable energy network is created. Coop benefits from more stable and predictable electricity costs, while the inheritance community gains a long-term return by utilizing its roof space. Collaboration with enshift AG enables a sustainable and economically viable energy supply. This project demonstrates how innovative energy solutions are actively shaping the future of the real estate industry.
As part of a full-scale energy modernization for the Helvetica Buchs 3 commercial property, enshift AG conducted a comprehensive analysis to unlock the site’s renewable energy potential. This assessment identified 2,865 m² of rooftop space ideal for solar, resulting in the installation of a 573 kWp photovoltaic (PV) system.
The system not only supports sustainability targets by cutting CO₂ emissions by 8,859 kg annually—a 31.7% reduction—but also delivers strong financial performance with a projected gross yield of 10.7%. This balance of environmental impact and economic return highlights the long-term value of strategic solar integration for portfolio assets.
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
Thanks to enshift’s PLUS model and data-driven, interdisciplinary planning, we reduced investment requirements by 25-40 % compared to conventional approaches. Our high implementation volumes, direct sourcing, and coordinated delivery eliminated risk and complexity — enabling Helvetica to maintain liquidity, preserve financial flexibility, and accelerate execution allowing operating capital to remain focused on the core business.
The overall cost saving of 23.2% in the Helvetica Buschs project results in noticeably lower energy costs for tenants while simultaneously enhancing the property’s attractiveness and competitiveness on the market. This contributes not only to a sustainable increase in property value but also to a future-proof and competitive positioning.
Through the implementation of integrated energy efficiency measures, the building’s performance was significantly improved—resulting in an upgrade of its energy classification from F to B. This enhancement supports compliance with evolving regulatory standards and contributes to the asset’s long-term ESG alignment.

This contributes not only to a sustainable increase in property value but also to a future-proof and competitive positioning.
With more than 59% of annual electricity needs met by the solar system, the building benefits from enhanced energy self-sufficiency and long-term cost control. This significantly reduces exposure to market fluctuations, making the property more resilient and future-ready.
Across every project, we track carbon savings in terms people understand—from avoided air travel to trees and certificate value. These values show just how impactful a targeted energy retrofit can be.
