This distribution describes recorded buildings, not your system's consumption or efficiency.
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Heating oil | 51 % | 50.9 % |
| District heating | 1 % | 1.4 % |
| Heat pump | 14 % | 5.4 % |
| Electricity | 9 % | 31.9 % |
| Wood | 23 % | 5.3 % |
| Solar thermal | 0 % | 1.6 % |
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.
11 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For your renovation plans in Davos, the federal building register provides key figures to consider. The median building volume is 937 m3 based on the SIA 416 standard, which is vital for scaling insulation and heating upgrades effectively. Please note that data coverage is partial, as this volume is only measured for 25 out of 1160 identified houses. Information regarding the year of renovation and heritage protection status is not available or applicable in the current official records. We recommend consulting directly with your local municipal office to confirm these details before starting any renovation projects.

Solar thermal collectors usually cover much of summer hot water. To optimize this yield in Davos, your roof orientation and the tilt of the panels play a decisive role.
It is recommended to choose a south-facing position to maximize sunlight during the most productive months. By integrating these systems, you significantly reduce your reliance on fossil fuels.
To get a realistic assessment of the cost of your work and the potential savings, do not hesitate to consult the RenoIndex estimator, which will provide a reliable price range for your renovation project.
Combining collectors with a heat pump needs a sizing study. This hybrid approach guarantees optimal energy efficiency throughout the year, even during the harsh winters in Davos.
A qualified professional must assess your real hot water needs and the storage volume required to avoid heat loss. Careful planning not only improves comfort but also ensures the longevity of your installation.
To visualize the costs associated with such an installation, the free RenoIndex tool remains the ideal solution to get a clear price range.
Several cantons subsidise collectors per m² or per installation. It is imperative to check with the authorities of the canton of Grisons before starting your work, as guidelines may evolve.
Financial support aims to encourage the energy renovation of the existing building stock. Additionally, your investment planning must integrate the cost of local labor and chosen equipment.
Use the RenoIndex estimator to get a price estimate in CHF and facilitate your budget planning before requesting the aids available in your region.
A successful renovation begins with a global analysis of your building's insulation. Installing solar thermal energy on a poorly insulated structure is less efficient than on an optimized building.
Remember to check the condition of your roof before any intervention to ensure the safety and durability of the installation. Hiring local experts familiar with the climatic specificities of Davos is also a major asset for the project's success.
To get an accurate price range and prepare your documentation, do not forget to use the RenoIndex simulator to find the average costs in Swiss Francs.

Yes, but efficiency varies by season. In summer, the system covers most of your needs. In winter, the collectors provide preheating of the water, but a supplementary system, such as a heat pump, is essential to reach comfort temperatures.
A quality installation typically lasts between 20 and 25 years. Regular maintenance by a professional helps to maintain the system's optimal performance and to detect any potential leaks or early wear in the hydraulic circuit.
Information on grants can be found at the energy department of the canton of Grisons. It is advisable to check the specific eligibility criteria for your project before starting the renovation work to ensure your application.
