Renovations, heritage and volumes
For your renovation projects in Maur, the official building register provides essential reference points. The median building volume stands at 1163 m3, which serves as a key indicator for scaling your future heating or insulation improvements. Please note that these volume figures are based on a limited sample size of only 12 buildings measured according to SIA 416 standards, indicating partial data coverage. Since information regarding renovation years and heritage protection is not recorded in the register, you should consult the municipality directly early in your planning phase to clarify any potential restrictions or requirements for your specific property.
