Dossier
Recorded in the buildings register (GWR): Boiler · Gas · built 1974.
Zurich: when an oil/gas heating system is next replaced, a renewable system is generally required (cantonal rule, in force since 2022-09).
Exception: Fossil replacement only if a renewable system is technically not feasible or more than 5 % more expensive over the life cycle.
Replacement with a heat pump: typically CHF 45,000–60,000 gross (incl. removal).
After cantonal subsidies, net approx. CHF 30,000–55,000.
Indicative range for a single-family home with an air-to-water heat pump, property-dependent; ground-source systems are considerably more expensive. Subsidies vary by canton, as of 07/2026.
Roof solar potential (SFOE Sonnendach): Best roof surface: excellent (level 5 of 5) · potential of about 83’892 kilowatt hours of solar power per year — photovoltaics can lower the running costs of a future heat pump.
Built 1974: a heating replacement may fall within the planning horizon for age reasons — the actual age of the heating system is not recorded in the register.
Mandatory replacement of fixed electric resistance heaters and central electric water heaters by 2030.
Based on the GWR entry (FSO) — verify on site, the register can lag reality. Cantonal rule as of verifiziert 07/2026. Costs indicative. Information, not legal, construction or tax advice.

Class A · Excellent service
Reliability 90%
Source: Federal Office for Spatial Development (ARE), public transport quality classes · As of: As of 18.03.2026 (ARE)
The rating comes from the Federal Office for Spatial Development (ARE) and combines three things: how significant the stop is (railway station, tram or bus only), how often services run and how far the walk is. In everyday terms, class A means frequent services — you barely need a timetable; class D means services are rare. A nearby stop alone doesn't earn a top class — if the bus runs rarely and there's neither commuter rail nor tram, the rating stays mid despite the short walk. National standard, updated yearly.

Reliability 80%
Source: Grena A3 + terrain horizon · Ubivo/Arboreon geo engine (Open-Meteo/Overpass) · As of: 2026-08-30
Included: terrain only (building data unavailable). The calculation uses a fixed reference day (equinox, 20 March) — so the value does not depend on when the report is generated. The score shows how much of the possible daylight actually arrives despite shade from terrain and neighbouring buildings. Building heights are estimated from OpenStreetMap; if a floor is set in the profile, the calculation starts from there. More precise 3D building data and vegetation will follow later. If a data source is missing, the shown reliability drops — nothing is ever guessed. Arboreon uses the same sunlight calculation to assess the sun suitability of planting sites.
Mostly sunny · 4.2 h of sun per day (Dec–Jan)
Reliability 70%
Source: Open-Meteo Archive (ERA5 sunshine duration) · As of: 5-winter mean 2021/22–2025/26
Average sun hours per day in December and January over the last 5 winters (European weather archive ERA5). Little winter sun on the Swiss Plateau usually means high fog; locations above the fog line get much more sun.

Source: Estimate from population (FSO) and elevation (swisstopo) · As of: Heuristic 2026-06
Shows how dark the night sky is — relevant for sleep and stargazing. Deliberately an estimate from municipal population and altitude, not a measurement: every address in the same municipality gets the same value, only altitude sets them apart. A real measurement would require the federal satellite night-light map.
Open view in 16 of 16 directions · terrain on average 1.9° above the horizon
Reliability 55%
Source: swisstopo elevation model (terrain horizon)
Shows how far the view carries over the surrounding terrain, checked in 16 directions up to 12 km: a flat horizon = open view/panorama, high surrounding terrain = valley floor or basin. A distant mountain panorama counts as open. Buildings are NOT considered — in dense urban areas the real view is therefore overestimated. Sun hours are measured separately by the sunlight factor.

Calculated with the European air-quality model CAMS (grid of about 1 km — a regional value, not a roadside measuring station). The air index sums up the main pollutants: 0–20 very good, above 100 very poor. Fine dust (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) are also shown separately, in micrograms per cubic metre of air (µg/m³).

Official value from the federal noise map (FOEN sonBASE) — in decibels (dB), for the outside wall without soundproof windows, not the loudness indoors. The rating follows the legal noise limits (in residential zones the daytime limit is 60 decibels). In narrow streets with tall buildings on both sides, lower floors can be louder than calculated because sound reflects between the façades — check soundproof windows and ventilation before buying.

Moderate summers · 11 hot days (≥30 °C) · 2 tropical nights (≥20 °C) annual mean 2023-2025
On how many days per year does the temperature exceed 30 °C — summer load on the building.
Reliability 70%
Source: Open-Meteo Archive (ERA5) · As of: Annual mean 2023-2025
Calculated from the European weather archive ERA5 (grid of about 9 km — a regional value). Tropical nights are nights that don't cool below 20 °C — they disturb sleep the most. Densely built city centres heat up further; real values there tend to be above the calculated one.
NO₂ 17 · PM2.5 8 µg/m³ — above the WHO recommendation, below the legal limit
Reliability 75%
Source: Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), air pollution maps NO₂/PM2.5 · As of: 2024
Official annual mean from the federal air-pollution map (FOEN) — a calculated grid, not a measuring station. It rates nitrogen dioxide (NO₂, mainly from traffic) and fine dust (PM2.5, tiny particles that reach deep into the lungs), in micrograms per cubic metre of air (µg/m³). The score is anchored to the WHO 2021 recommendations (NO₂ 10 / PM2.5 5 µg/m³) and the legal Swiss annual limits of the air-pollution ordinance (30 / 10 µg/m³) — the worse pollutant counts. This shows long-term exposure; today's air is covered by the “Air quality” factor.

Very quiet — well below the planning value

Observed warming from the European weather archive ERA5 (grid of about 9 km — a regional trend, not the plot's microclimate): the average temperature of 1961–1963 is compared with 2023–2025. A projection to 2040 will follow in a later version.
low heating demand · ~2198 heating degree days/year
Reliability 75%
Source: Open-Meteo Archive (ERA5) · As of: Annual mean 2023-2025
Heating degree days measure how much heating a location needs: for every heating day, we count how many degrees the daily average stays below 15.5 °C and add this up over the year (Swiss building standard SIA 380/1). The higher the number, the more heating is needed — and the higher the heating bills.

Days in the winter half-year (October–February, average 2023–2025) that look like typical high fog in the weather model: near-closed cloud cover, cold, hardly any sunlight. An approximation from the model — visibility readings from weather stations would be more precise. Places clearly above the Plateau fog band (from about 700 m, at the latest above 1500 m) are counted lower, as they usually sit above the sea of fog.

Days with at least 1 mm of precipitation — MeteoSwiss's definition of a “wet day” — average of 2023–2025. Heavy downpours are covered separately by the “Hail risk” factor.

Days with wind gusts of at least 70 km/h (force 8 — gale), average of 2023–2025. Local wind boosters such as foehn valleys or narrow gorges are slightly smoothed by the weather model's 9 km grid.

How much solar energy hits one square metre per day in summer (May–September, average 2023–2025) — in kilowatt hours (kWh). The higher the value, the sunnier the spot: more sunshine, more UV exposure (think sun protection), more solar-power yield. Elevation is already reflected in the weather data (9 km grid).

Radon is a natural radioactive gas from the ground that can accumulate in buildings.

The actual level depends on construction and ventilation; if the probability is elevated, a simple radon measurement brings certainty.
Normal ground — no zone that especially amplifies earthquakes
The federal map only records zones where soft ground amplifies earthquake shaking (e.g. valley floors) — none here: the ground is considered unremarkable. Overall, Switzerland's earthquake hazard is low to moderate (Plateau low, Basel region and Valais higher).
