Renovations, heritage and volumes

For renovation projects in Wohlen, RegBL data shows that out of 3190 registered buildings, 693 are under heritage protection, necessitating early consultation with the municipality regarding permits. Regarding building volume, data coverage is partial, with only 29 buildings measured according to the SIA 416 standard, showing a median of 920 m3. These volume figures are vital for determining the scope of heating or insulation works. Please note that the renovation year is not available for this municipality, preventing analysis based on building age. We recommend using these official figures as a foundation while acknowledging the specific limitations in current data coverage.

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.
