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.
6.3 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
When planning your renovation in Fällanden, official RegBL figures provide critical insights for your project. With one building under heritage protection out of 1378, it is essential to contact the municipality early to navigate permit requirements correctly. Regarding building scale, the median volume is 630 m3 based on the SIA 416 standard; however, note that this data is only available for 14 out of 825 houses, representing partial coverage. These figures help homeowners estimate the necessary scope for insulation and heating upgrades while ensuring that potential heritage restrictions are addressed appropriately within the municipal planning process.

Solar thermal collectors capture radiation energy to heat a fluid that circulates to a storage tank. This process is particularly efficient during sunny months.
In fact, solar thermal collectors usually cover much of summer hot water, thus reducing reliance on other energy sources. It is essential to insulate your pipes well to limit heat loss when transporting heat to your tank.
A well-designed installation guarantees stable, reliable, and environmentally friendly hot water production throughout the summer period and beyond.
It is common to want to pair solar collectors with a modern heat pump. However, combining collectors with a heat pump needs a sizing study conducted by an expert. This analysis ensures that both systems work in perfect synergy without overloading the network.
A well-conducted study avoids hydraulic imbalances and optimizes the lifespan of your equipment.

These measures aim to encourage owners to modernize their energy installations. Remember that the overall cost depends on the size of your roof and the technical complexity of the project.
