Saxon's housing stock in figures
The federal building register lists 1'798 residential buildings with 4'023 dwellings in Saxon. 43% were built before 1980, before serious insulation standards, and 26% are still heated with oil or gas.
Only 4.1% of residential buildings in Saxon 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 Saxon, the RegBL figures provide essential benchmarks. With two buildings officially under heritage protection, it is crucial to contact the municipality early to understand potential planning restrictions. The median house volume is 840 m3, which serves as a key indicator for scaling your heating or insulation work. Please note that data coverage remains partial: volume is explicitly measured for only 6 buildings, and information regarding the last renovation year is currently unavailable in the register for the 1798 buildings listed, limiting historical insight into the existing housing stock.
