Renovations, heritage and volumes

For homeowners in Stans planning renovations, official building register figures offer key insights. While data regarding renovation years and heritage protection status remains unavailable for the majority of the housing stock, volume metrics are provided for a small segment. For the two houses measured according to the SIA 416 standard, the median building volume is 1966.5 m3. This figure is vital for accurately assessing the scale of insulation work and determining the correct capacity for your heating system. Please be aware that the current data coverage for this municipality is very partial, requiring careful local assessment.
