Switzerland

On the 23rd of April the 4th Swiss users club took place in Yverdon-les-Bains. Over 20 representatives from French speaking Swiss communes met to share their experiences. They were treated to a presentation by a communication expert who provided his insight into how to prepare a successful communication campaign and also how to communicate with the media. Pascal Mullener from Montreux, winner of the second prize at the 2007 Towards Class A awards, also shared his experience of managing the local communication campaign in his municipality.

The next users club will take place on the 27th of May in Paris. The agenda for this meeting will be sent to all the French users in early May after a preparatory meeting with the DGUHC. Time will be allocated for cities to talk about their first experiences of carrying out the DPE (French National Energy Certificate) and the Display adapted version of the DPE.
