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.
7.3 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For your renovation plans in Brugg, RegBL data provides crucial insights. With 503 buildings under heritage protection, it is essential to contact the municipality early to clarify permit requirements. Regarding the scale of your insulation or heating work, the median building volume is 1438 m3 according to the SIA 416 standard. Please note that data coverage is partial here, as this volume measurement applies to only two buildings, while the standard remains unknown or is measured differently for the vast majority of the housing stock in the municipality. Always consult local authorities before finalizing your project.

Solar thermal collectors capture solar energy to heat a heat transfer fluid, which then transfers warmth to your hot water tank. This solution is highly effective in our region for covering a large portion of your summer hot water needs.
By installing this system, you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels. However, it is essential to properly size the collector area according to your actual consumption and the number of household members to ensure long-term profitability.
Proper dimensioning is key to maximizing efficiency and seasonal performance.
Integrating solar thermal systems with a heat pump is an increasingly common strategy in Brugg. This combination requires a rigorous sizing study to ensure synergy between both technologies.
The heat pump can take over on less sunny days, while solar thermal relieves the system during peak sunshine periods.
A prior technical study is essential to avoid costly oversizing and to ensure that your entire home heating installation works harmoniously and economically.
Professional planning ensures the long-term efficiency and reliability of your residential energy system.
Although specific conditions depend on cantonal policies, it is always recommended to inquire before starting any work.

Solar thermal is primarily intended for producing domestic hot water. While it can contribute to space heating as a supplement, it is generally not sufficient to completely replace a boiler, especially during winter. A combination with other systems is necessary.
Quality solar thermal installations are designed to last for an average of 20 to 25 years. Regular maintenance by a professional helps ensure their efficiency and prolong their lifespan over time.
Most roofs can accommodate panels, but orientation, inclination, and the absence of obstacles like chimneys or trees are crucial for performance. An on-site technical analysis is recommended to verify the feasibility of your project.
