Châtel-Saint-Denis's housing stock in figures
The federal building register lists 1'680 residential buildings with 4'469 dwellings in Châtel-Saint-Denis. 49% were built before 1980, before serious insulation standards, and 34% are still heated with oil or gas.
Only 1.5% of residential buildings in Châtel-Saint-Denis report a solar thermal system in the register, so most roofs are still free. Photovoltaics are not recorded there; check the solar cadastre for your roof.
