Renovations, heritage and volumes

For renovation planning in Bassersdorf, official building register figures provide key technical insights. Regarding building scale, a median volume of 975.5 m3 is recorded for six buildings based on the SIA 416 standard, which is useful for estimating heating and insulation requirements. Please note that data coverage is partial, as most buildings follow different measurement standards. As no heritage protection status or renovation years are recorded for the properties, homeowners have fewer constraints regarding historical preservation permits. We advise using these current register figures as a starting point for assessing the structural scope of your upcoming property upgrades.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the one-off remuneration for my project?

The one-off remuneration is managed by Pronovo at the federal level. Once your installation is complete, you must submit an application through their online portal. It is advisable to discuss these steps with your installer, who can often assist you with the administrative formalities.

Is a building permit always required?

In Switzerland, properly integrated roof-mounted solar installations are generally subject to simple notification. However, check with your municipality to see if any heritage or landscape protection restrictions apply to your specific neighborhood.
