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.
10.8 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For renovation projects in Risch, official building register data provides essential context. Heritage protection is significant, with 392 of the 435 known buildings listed, necessitating early contact with municipal authorities regarding permit requirements. Regarding building volume, data coverage is partial as all 553 recorded houses use standards other than SIA 416, which complicates scaling assessments for heating and insulation upgrades. We recommend verifying these local specifics thoroughly before finalising your renovation strategy, as these factors directly influence both your planning permission process and the technical scope of the structural improvements required for your property.
