MINERGIE ECO is a label for new and refurbished low-energy-consumption buildings that addresses ecological and social requirements. It can be combined with MINERGIE, MINERGIE-P, and MINERGIE-A, which are standards that focus more on energy consumption.

Health requirements:

• high percentage use of daylight instead of electricity
• sound insulation
• indoor air quality (minimization of pollutant emissions from building materials, limitation of ionizing (radon gas) and non-ionizing radiations)

Ecological requirements:

• readily available raw materials
• high proportion of recycled building materials
• building materials with low environmental impact (rely on other ecolabels)
• environmentally friendly disposable building materials
• long lifetime, flexibility, dismantling ability
