Saint-Maurice's housing stock in figures
The federal building register lists 1'028 residential buildings with 2'334 dwellings in Saint-Maurice. 47% were built before 1980, before serious insulation standards, and 55% are still heated with oil or gas.
Only 3.3% of residential buildings in Saint-Maurice 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 your renovation projects in Saint-Maurice, the RegBL data provides crucial context for your planning. With 7 heritage-protected buildings identified out of 48 known instances, it is essential to contact the municipality early to navigate permit requirements. Data regarding building volume is highly partial, as only 4 of the 748 houses are measured according to the SIA 416 standard, showing a median volume of 565.5 m3. Due to this limited coverage, assessing the scale of heating or insulation works requires careful onsite verification. Always consult with local professionals to confirm your property specifications before committing to renovation costs.
