Renovations, heritage and volumes

When planning your renovation in Schlieren, the official building register provides key figures to help you estimate project requirements. Regarding building volume, the data indicates a median of 1907 m3 for properties measured according to the SIA 416 standard, which is useful for gauging the scale of heating and insulation upgrades. Please be aware that data coverage is quite limited, as only three buildings were measured out of 538 total houses. Use these figures as a starting point for your project estimations, while keeping in mind that specific on-site measurements are recommended to ensure accurate planning for your renovation goals.

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.
