Each line gives the share of buildings using that energy, separately for heating and for hot water. The two columns do not always reach 100%: some buildings combine two systems, or reported none.
A standard non-condensing boiler is usually older and less efficient.
7.2 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For renovation projects in Biberist, data from the federal building register provides important guidance. Data coverage regarding the renovation year is partial, meaning no meaningful historical analysis is possible. Regarding heritage protection, one building is officially listed as protected out of 2015 known units. If your property is affected, contact the municipality early to discuss permit requirements. Furthermore, while building volumes are recorded in the register, the median value is unavailable, which limits the ability to estimate the scale of heating or insulation works accurately. Please account for this limited data availability when planning your future home improvements.

Solar thermal collectors are an efficient solution for converting solar radiation into heat. They usually cover a large part of your hot water needs, especially during the summer months when sunshine is at its peak in Biberist.
By reducing your reliance on fossil fuels, you not only improve your ecological footprint but also achieve long-term savings.
For a clear view of the costs associated with this type of installation, do not hesitate to use the RenoIndex calculator to obtain a precise budget estimate for your property.
The success of a solar project depends on rigorous sizing. If you plan to combine your collectors with a heat pump, a prior technical study is essential to ensure optimal synergy between both systems.
A well-sized installation maximizes energy yield throughout the year. Since every home has unique characteristics, the cost can vary significantly depending on the technical complexity.
RenoIndex provides a free tool for you to quickly estimate the price of your solar heating project in just a few clicks.
These measures are designed to reduce your initial investment. It is advisable to inquire about current conditions before starting work.

High-quality solar thermal collectors are designed to last between 20 and 25 years. Regular annual maintenance by a specialist ensures they function properly and optimizes their energy efficiency over the long term. Use RenoIndex to estimate installation costs and anticipate your overall budget.
Yes, solar collectors capture diffuse radiation even on cloudy days. However, the efficiency is significantly lower than on a sunny day. This is why a backup system, such as a boiler or a heat pump, is essential to ensure constant comfort.
In Switzerland, installing solar collectors is generally subject to a simple notification procedure in most cases, provided that local regulations are respected. We advise you to contact your local planning department to confirm the rules currently in force.
The required surface area depends on your hot water consumption and the number of residents. As a general rule, allow for about 1 to 1.5 m² per person for a standard installation. RenoIndex allows you to evaluate the installation cost based on the size of your project.
