Fully's housing stock in figures

The federal building register lists 2'542 residential buildings with 4'720 dwellings in Fully. 42% were built before 1980, before serious insulation standards, and 21% are still heated with oil or gas.

Only 3.2% of residential buildings in Fully 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.

Renovations, heritage and volumes

For renovation projects in Fully, the median building volume of 767 m3 serves as a vital benchmark for scaling heating or insulation upgrades according to the SIA 416 standard, though data coverage is limited across the 2542 total buildings. Regarding heritage protection, no specific protected status is recorded for the 164 buildings with known data. Because coverage is partial, we strongly recommend contacting the municipality early in your planning process. Engaging with local authorities ensures you identify any potential architectural constraints or historical requirements that may affect your permits or the scope of your renovation work.
