Guide: Energy-efficient renovation

Energy-efficient renovation – your roadmap to an energy-efficient property.

Rising energy costs, stricter regulations and growing awareness of sustainability make energy-efficient renovation a central topic for property owners. A well-planned renovation reduces energy consumption, increases living comfort and raises the value of your property. Our free guide gives you a concise overview of which measures are worthwhile, which legal requirements apply and how to make the most of subsidies – for your property in Zurich, Zug or anywhere in German-speaking Switzerland.

Why an energy-efficient renovation pays off

A significant share of energy consumption in Switzerland comes from private households – a major lever for both climate protection and cost savings. An energy-efficient renovation noticeably reduces heating costs, makes living more comfortable and protects against the value loss that increasingly threatens poorly insulated properties. Especially given stricter legal standards, a future-proof property also has a clear advantage when it comes to a later sale.

What you’ll find in the guide

The key renovation measures

Insulating roof, walls and floors, replacing old windows with thermally insulated models and modernising the heating system: which measures have the greatest effect and in what order they make sense.

Legal requirements

Building regulations and energy standards are constantly evolving. The guide shows you which provisions you need to consider when planning, so you can avoid problems later on.

Making the most of subsidies

Federal, cantonal and building-programme funding offer financial support for energy-efficient renovations. We show you which subsidies may apply and what to watch out for when submitting an application.

Modern heating systems at a glance

Replacing an old oil or gas heating system is one of the most effective steps in an energy-efficient renovation. Modern technologies such as heat pumps or pellet heating work more efficiently, are more environmentally friendly and are subsidised in many places. Which system suits your property best depends on factors such as building condition, insulation and location – the guide helps you make the right choice.

Who is this guide for?

The guide is designed for owners who want to carry out an energy-efficient renovation of their property in Zurich, Zug or anywhere in German-speaking Switzerland – whether a comprehensive overall renovation or individual modernisation steps.
