German Foreign office in nutshell
In 2011 the German Foreign Office had the energy technology of its 177,000m2 building extensively modernized. As a result, the ministry has saved not only more than a quarter of energy costs per year, but also around 1,800 tonnes of CO2, thus making an important contribution to achieving the federal government’s climate protection goals.
