Renovations, heritage and volumes

For your renovation planning in Zug, RegBL data provides vital benchmarks. With 477 out of 577 identified buildings under heritage protection, it is essential to contact the municipality early to navigate permit requirements. Regarding building scale, the median volume is 1495 m3 based on the SIA 416 standard for a portion of the housing stock, helping you estimate the scope of heating or insulation upgrades. Please note that data coverage is partial for building volumes and the renovation year is not recorded. Consulting local authorities early remains a key step for your project in this specific municipality.

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.
