Renovations, heritage and volumes
For homeowners in Crissier, RegBL data is essential for planning renovations. With 363 buildings under heritage protection out of 477 known cases, contacting the municipality early regarding permits is highly recommended. The median house volume of 458 m3 for the 169 houses measured by the SIA 416 standard provides a baseline for estimating heating or insulation costs. Please note that data coverage is partial, as the heritage status remains unknown for 694 buildings, and a significant portion of the total housing stock was not measured using the specified standard, which may impact your project assessment.
