Renovations, heritage and volumes
When planning renovations in Givisiez, it is essential to consult official RegBL data. Regarding heritage, two buildings are officially protected out of 336, though information remains partial for the majority of the municipality. If your property is classified as protected, contact the municipal authorities early to navigate permit requirements. Please note that data regarding house volumes according to the SIA 416 standard and renovation years are currently unavailable for this location. As these figures are critical for scaling insulation or heating upgrades, we recommend consulting local documentation directly to ensure your cost estimates and project planning remain accurate.

Rules of the canton of Fribourg
These rules apply across the whole canton, not only in this town.
Fossil heating rules
- Note : Les exigences spécifiques s'appliquent aux bâtiments existants en cas de remplacement de chauffages à énergies fossiles ou électriques. Ces exigences ne s'appliquent pas si le remplacement est dû à un événement imprévisible et que l'installation initiale a moins de 15 ans, ou si des mesures d'efficacité énergétique ont été réalisées récemment pour un coût élevé, ou si le remplacement est pour un chauffage à bois déjà présent dans le même bâtiment ou sur la même parcelle, ou si l'autorité l'estime disproportionné. Les communes peuvent prévoir des exigences supplémentaires.
- Legal basis : Règlement d'exécution de la loi cantonale sur l'énergie (RLE)
- In force since : 1er janvier 2024
- Heating replacement : En cas de remplacement d'une installation de chauffage ou d'eau chaude sanitaire fonctionnant aux énergies fossiles ou par des chauffages électriques, au moins 10 % de la chaleur nécessaire sont couverts par des énergies renouvelables ou par la chaleur à distance, ou des mesures permettant une économie de chaleur équivalente sont réalisées.
- Renewable share required : 10 % de la chaleur nécessaire

Tax deductions
- Carry-forward : L'excédent des frais d'investissement en matière d'énergie, d'efficacité énergétique et de protection de l'environnement peut être reporté sur les deux périodes fiscales suivantes.
- Flat rate deduction : 20% (pour immeubles de plus de 10 ans); 10% (pour immeubles de moins de 10 ans)
- Maintenance costs : Au choix: soit déduction des frais effectifs, soit un forfait de 20% de la valeur locative (20% de l'état locatif ou du revenu brut des immeubles) pour les immeubles de plus de 10 ans. Pour les immeubles de moins de 10 ans, le forfait est de 10%.
- Energy investments : Les investissements en matière d'énergie renouvelable, d'amélioration de l'efficacité énergétique et de protection de l'environnement, ainsi que les frais de démolition en vue d'une construction de remplacement, sont déductibles. Si les frais déductibles dépassent le revenu de l'immeuble pour la période fiscale courante, l'excédent peut être reporté sur les deux périodes fiscales suivantes.
