Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation plans in Wädenswil, the federal building register provides important insights for your project. The median house volume is 497 m3 according to the SIA 416 standard, which is essential for scaling heating and insulation works. Please note that this volume data is based on a very limited coverage of only two buildings out of 2128. Regarding heritage status, 53 buildings are identified as known. We recommend contacting the municipality early to clarify any specific permit requirements or restrictions for your property, ensuring that your renovation project proceeds smoothly while respecting the local building regulations.

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.
