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.
14.7 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For your renovation plans in Küssnacht, RegBL data provides helpful benchmarks, although coverage remains partial. Regarding building scale, there is a median volume of 1395.5 m3 for the 10 houses measured according to the SIA 416 standard, which is essential for estimating the scope of heating and insulation upgrades. Data concerning specific renovation years or heritage protection status is not recorded. Given these gaps in coverage, we strongly advise homeowners to contact the local municipal authorities early in the planning process to verify any specific building requirements or historical conservation constraints that might apply to your individual property.

Solar thermal collectors are an excellent option to cover a large portion of your hot water needs, especially during the summer months. By capturing solar energy, they relieve your main heating system, thereby extending its lifespan.
Investing in this technology is a sustainable choice that adds value to your property in the long term while actively participating in the energy transition.
To estimate the total cost of your project, consult the free RenoIndex calculator to receive a reliable price range.
The success of a solar thermal installation depends on a rigorous sizing study. Combining collectors with a heat pump, for example, requires technical expertise to ensure optimal efficiency throughout the year.
A well-sized system maximizes solar yield while avoiding unnecessary overheating. It is recommended to work with qualified professionals to validate the technical configuration based on your actual needs.

As a general rule, a well-maintained system can operate efficiently for 20 to 25 years. Periodic maintenance is recommended to check the condition of fluids and components to ensure optimal performance over the long term.
Yes, solar thermal collectors continue to produce heat even in winter if there is radiation, although the efficiency is lower due to shorter daylight hours and lower temperatures compared to the summer months.
Roof pitch and orientation are key factors. A south-facing orientation is ideal for capturing maximum energy. It is advisable to have a technical analysis performed before starting any installation work on your property.
No, solar thermal is usually a complementary system. It effectively covers hot water needs, but a backup heating source remains necessary during periods of low sunlight or high energy demand.
