| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 13 % | 12.1 % |
| Heating oil | 23 % | 16.3 % |
| District heating | 2 % | 2.3 % |

A standard non-condensing boiler is usually older and less efficient.

Please note that data coverage for building volume remains partial, with only 19 units measured according to the SIA 416 standard out of 843 houses. No official records regarding the year of the last renovation are available for this specific building stock.
