Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation projects in Liestal, data from the federal building and dwelling register provides key insights. With 663 buildings under heritage protection, it is essential to contact the municipality early to clarify permit requirements. Regarding building volume, the median value for the 25 properties measured according to the SIA 416 standard is 734 m3, which helps in scaling heating or insulation work. Please note that volume data coverage is partial, as the majority of buildings are recorded under other standards or are unknown. These figures are crucial for planning the scope of your renovation investment accurately.

Tips before you start

  • Solar thermal collectors usually cover much of summer hot water.
  • Combining collectors with a heat pump needs a sizing study.
  • Several cantons subsidise collectors per m² or per installation.
