This distribution describes recorded buildings, not your system's consumption or efficiency.
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 22 % | 20.8 % |
| Heating oil | 35 % | 28.5 % |
| District heating | 6 % | 6.3 % |
| Heat pump | 30 % | 9.1 % |
| Electricity | 2 % | 22.8 % |
| Wood | 5 % | 4.3 % |
| Solar thermal | 0 % | 7.9 % |
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.
For your renovation projects in Cham, these federal building register figures are vital. Heritage protection affects 496 known buildings, making early communication with the municipality for permits essential, while 1312 buildings are not classified. With a median volume of 928 m3 for the 803 houses measured according to the SIA 416 standard, you can better plan the scale of your insulation or heating works. Note that data coverage is partial, as only 3 buildings are precisely measured using this specific standard, with the remainder relying on other methods or being listed as unknown.

Before starting your project, it is crucial to analyze your building's specific requirements. First check whether your area can connect to a priority district heating network, as this may be preferred in certain zones.
Additionally, the local design outdoor temperature sets the heat pump's capacity. Correct sizing ensures optimal efficiency and longer equipment lifespan.
Consult RenoIndex to precisely calculate these energy needs and gain a clear overview of the budget required for your heat pump installation project.
Installing outdoor air-water heat pumps requires special attention to noise. These systems must meet noise limits towards neighbours to avoid any conflicts or disturbance. The placement of the outdoor unit is therefore decisive.
It is recommended to choose locations away from rest areas. A well-planned installation reduces vibrations and the noise generated by the fan.
Feel free to use our RenoIndex estimator to plan costs related to an acoustically optimized installation, ensuring peace and comfort for you and your neighbors in Cham.
