Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation plans in Opfikon, RegBL data provides essential benchmarks, though coverage remains partial. With a median building volume of 739 m3 according to SIA 416 standards for 81 measured buildings, you can better estimate the scale of necessary heating or insulation upgrades. Note that data regarding renovation years is currently unavailable. Since heritage protection status is known for only 153 buildings, we advise contacting the municipality early to confirm if your property is affected. These figures serve as a foundational guide to help you size your renovation project accurately and anticipate potential regulatory requirements.

Tips before you start

  • The federal one-off remuneration (Pronovo) lowers the cost of small systems.
  • Profitability depends mainly on how much power you use on site.
  • A suitably integrated roof system often only needs notification.
