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.
For renovation projects in Volketswil, RegBL figures provide essential benchmarks for planning. With a median building volume of 1255 m3 based on the SIA 416 standard, you can effectively gauge the scale of necessary heating or insulation upgrades. Please be aware that data coverage is partial, as this volume is specifically measured for only 19 out of 1523 houses. These metrics serve as a valuable foundation to help estimate renovation costs and project requirements. Use this data early in your preparation to better align your expectations with local building characteristics and ensure a more accurate budget for your property.

Before starting your project in Volketswil, it is essential to assess your needs thoroughly. First check whether your area can connect to a priority district heating network, as this might be a more suitable alternative according to local energy plans.
Once this is ruled out, focus on selecting the right heat pump. The local design outdoor temperature sets the heat pump's capacity needed to keep your interior effectively warm during the coldest winter periods.
Careful planning ensures long-term savings and optimal thermal comfort for your home throughout the year.
When installing a heat pump, the placement of the outdoor unit is crucial for neighborhood relations. Outdoor air-water heat pumps must meet noise limits towards neighbours to maintain good relations.
It is recommended to place the unit in an open but protected area, away from rest zones, while facilitating airflow. Consider also the aesthetic aspect and the minimum distances required by the building regulations of the canton of Zurich.
A thoughtful installation allows you to enjoy the benefits of your new heat pump without creating noise disturbances for those living nearby.
Installing a heat pump is the perfect opportunity to audit your home's insulation. In the canton of Zurich, a heat pump's efficiency is directly correlated to the quality of the building envelope.
If your insulation is poor, the pump will work harder, increasing your electricity consumption. Consider renovating windows or adding thermal insulation if needed.
A well-dimensioned installation, combined with an energy-efficient house, guarantees significant reductions in your energy bills in the long run. Use the RenoIndex calculator to compare installation costs and anticipate savings after the work is complete.
