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.
7.9 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For your renovation plans in Dietlikon, the official RegBL figures provide useful benchmarks. With a median building volume of 550 m3 based on the SIA 416 standard, you can better estimate the scale of insulation or heating upgrades. Please note that the volume data coverage is limited to only two out of 577 houses, indicating that this information is very partial. Furthermore, as data regarding heritage protection status and specific renovation years are not actionable for your property, we recommend contacting the municipality directly to clarify local building requirements before finalizing your renovation budget.

Solar thermal collectors usually cover much of summer hot water. During sunny months, a well-sized system can meet up to 80 percent of your domestic hot water needs.
This reduces the strain on your primary heating boiler, extending its lifespan while generating significant savings. In Dietlikon, optimal south-facing orientation and correct panel tilt maximise this efficiency.
To get a reliable estimate of the installation costs, use our RenoIndex tool to plan the investments required for your roof setup and your hot water storage system effectively.
Combining collectors with a heat pump needs a sizing study. This hybrid approach is ideal for increasing the overall energy efficiency of your property in Dietlikon.
While solar thermal takes over for hot water, the heat pump provides the necessary backup during less sunny periods. Careful technical planning is essential to avoid extra costs associated with oversized or inappropriate equipment.
Use our free RenoIndex simulator to compare costs and get a reliable price range for this type of combined installation, helping you make informed decisions for a high-performance energy renovation.
