Bernex's housing stock in figures

The federal building register lists 1'611 residential buildings with 4'686 dwellings in Bernex. 55% were built before 1980, before serious insulation standards, and 63% are still heated with oil or gas.

Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation projects in Bernex, the federal building registry data shows partial coverage. Although the register lists 1611 buildings, specific details regarding renovation years, heritage protection status, and building volumes based on the SIA 416 standard are not currently recorded or available in our system. Due to this lack of specific RegBL figures, property owners should communicate directly with the local municipal authorities to obtain precise information about their property before starting any major work. Early coordination with the municipality ensures that you address all relevant planning requirements and local building regulations for your renovation project.

Permits

  • Competent authority : Office de l'urbanisme
  • Solar panels : Soumise à autorisation de construire, mais avec une procédure simplifiée si certaines conditions sont remplies (conformité au droit des zones, intégration paysagère et patrimoniale satisfaisante, puissance totale inférieure à 100 kVA). Procédure simplifiée possible par le biais d'une déclaration préalable, si les installations sont sur des toits en pente conformes ou sur des toits plats non visibles, ou dans certains périmètres d'aménagement (zone 4B, 5, 5A, 5B, 6).
  • Heat pump : Les pompes à chaleur air-eau ou air-air nécessitent une autorisation de construire si leur puissance dépasse 10 kW. Si elles sont installées à l'intérieur, elles sont soumises à la LCI (Loi sur les constructions et les installations) et non à la LALPT (Loi sur l'aménagement du territoire et les constructions). Pour les pompes à chaleur de puissance inférieure ou égale à 10 kW, une déclaration préalable est nécessaire, accompagnée d'une attestation de conformité acoustique. Des exigences en matière de bruit sont mentionnées pour les installations extérieures, avec des valeurs limites d'immissions fixées par l'Ordonnance sur la protection contre le bruit (OPB) et des règles spécifiques du règlement d'application de la LCI (rLCI). Un bureau spécialisé en acoustique est souvent requis pour les projets complexes.
