Naters's housing stock in figures
The federal building register lists 2'731 residential buildings with 7'572 dwellings in Naters. 58% were built before 1980, before serious insulation standards, and 31% are still heated with oil or gas.
Only 6.6% of residential buildings in Naters 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 planning in Naters, federal building registry data provides essential context. Regarding building volume, the median is 769 m3 per SIA 416 standards, though this reflects measurements for only 43 out of 1534 houses, indicating partial data coverage. Concerning heritage protection, no buildings are currently designated as protected among the 370 known cases, while the status for 2361 units remains unknown. Given these gaps in recorded data, we strongly recommend contacting the municipality early in your project phase to confirm specific regulatory requirements or architectural restrictions before finalizing your insulation and heating upgrade plans.
