Renovations, heritage and volumes

For renovation projects in Wetzikon, RegBL figures provide vital context. With a median house volume of 577 m3 among those measured by SIA 416, homeowners can better gauge the scale of necessary heating or insulation works. Regarding heritage protection, one building is officially listed out of 767 known cases. If your property falls under this status, contacting the municipality early is essential to navigate permit requirements. Please be aware that data coverage for these metrics is partial. Furthermore, no specific renovation year is recorded in the register, meaning this information is unavailable for your planning purposes.

Tips before you start

  • Solar thermal collectors usually cover much of summer hot water.
  • Combining collectors with a heat pump needs a sizing study.
