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.
11.3 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
When planning renovations in Herzogenbuchsee, official building register data reveals that 4 out of 1581 buildings are under heritage protection. If your property is classified, you must contact the municipality early to secure necessary permits. Based on the 2 houses measured under the SIA 416 standard, the median volume is 1084.5 m3, which helps gauge the scope of thermal insulation and heating upgrades. Please be aware that data coverage is highly incomplete, as most building volumes remain unmeasured, and information regarding specific renovation years is not currently recorded in the official database.

Solar thermal collectors are a smart choice for owners looking to increase their property's value. In Switzerland, these systems usually cover a large portion of hot water needs during the summer months, relieving your main heating system.
Beyond financial savings, you actively contribute to the energy transition. It is important to evaluate your roof's sun exposure and collector orientation to optimize yield.
Use the RenoIndex estimator to visualize the financial potential of your investment and better understand the long-term benefits of such an installation for your energy bill.
Installation is not limited to placing panels on the roof. Combining collectors with a heat pump requires a rigorous sizing study. This step ensures the hot water production system works in perfect synergy with the rest of your technical equipment.
An incorrectly sized system risks limiting the savings achieved. It is advisable to consult local professionals to analyze your actual needs.
To get a clear idea of the costs associated with this technical planning, check the RenoIndex estimator and obtain a price range adapted to your specific project.
However, modalities vary depending on the region and current energy policies. It is therefore crucial to inquire before starting work. RenoIndex assists you in this process by providing a solid budgetary basis for cost comparison.
