Renovations, heritage and volumes

For renovation planning in Thun, official registry data identifies 4 heritage-protected buildings. If your property falls under this category, contact the municipality early to navigate permit requirements. Regarding building volume, the median is 914 m3 according to the SIA 416 standard; however, this figure covers only 5 houses out of 3587, representing a highly partial data set. Because recorded data for the year of renovation is unavailable for the local building stock, homeowners cannot rely on these statistics to determine the age of their property's last significant upgrades or specific energy efficiency needs.
