This distribution describes recorded buildings, not your system's consumption or efficiency.
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 47 % | 42 % |
| Heating oil | 23 % | 20 % |
| District heating | 1 % | 1.3 % |
| Heat pump | 26 % | 21.2 % |
| Electricity | 1 % | 13.2 % |
| Wood | 2 % | 0.8 % |
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.
10.4 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For your renovation plans in Dübendorf, the official federal building register data provides essential insights for cost estimation. With a median house volume of 920 m3, these figures help you gauge the scale of necessary heating or insulation upgrades. Please be aware that data coverage is partial, as only 19 out of 1,752 houses were measured according to the SIA 416 standard. Utilizing these figures allows you to better understand the scope of your project, ensuring that your renovation budget is aligned with the specific structural characteristics of properties located within this municipality.

Solar thermal collectors capture sunlight to heat a heat transfer fluid circulating towards a storage tank. In Switzerland, this technology is particularly efficient for hot water needs.
It is important to note that solar thermal collectors usually cover much of summer hot water, thus reducing reliance on traditional heating systems.
For optimal performance, the orientation and tilt of the panels must be carefully studied during technical planning to capture as much sunlight as possible throughout the year and ensure the long-term efficiency of your renewable energy system.
Integrating solar thermal into a global heating system is a winning strategy. For example, combining collectors with a heat pump needs a sizing study to ensure compatibility.
This hybrid approach allows you to cover base needs with free solar energy, while the heat pump takes over on less sunny days or for space heating.
Professional planning ensures a harmonious interaction between your equipment, thereby maximizing the lifespan of your installation and the thermal comfort of your home, while optimizing your annual energy consumption through smart management.
These financial incentives can significantly reduce the initial investment cost. To get a clear idea of current rates and potential savings, do not hesitate to use the free RenoIndex estimator.
Careful financial planning, combined with the appropriate subsidies, will make your solar project in Dübendorf much more accessible and economically profitable in the long run.
The success of a solar project in Dübendorf relies on meticulous planning. Start by assessing your roof and its capacity to support the panels. Then, consult certified professionals to correctly size the system according to your actual needs.
It is essential not to underestimate the technical complexity, especially regarding the connection to the existing water distribution system. By using the RenoIndex calculation tools, you will obtain reliable cost estimates to guide your decisions.
A well-prepared project is the guarantee of optimal energy production and long-term peace of mind.

Yes, solar thermal captures diffuse radiation even in winter. However, the yield is lower than in summer. This is why the system is always coupled with a backup source to ensure constant comfort throughout the year.
Combining collectors with a heat pump optimizes overall energy efficiency. You use free solar energy for preheating, which significantly reduces the demand on the heat pump and lowers your electricity bills. It is a smart move for efficiency.
Several cantons subsidise thermal collectors. It is recommended to check current programmes from the canton of Zurich before starting your work to maximize savings on your solar installation project and keep costs manageable.
