Impact Analysis of Regulations Phasing Out Fossil Fuel Heating

In recent years, many Swiss cantons have introduced new regulations governing the phasing out of fossil fuel heating systems. We examined the impact of these new cantonal regulations in five cantons. Our findings reveal that under the new legislation around 90% of the fossil systems in residential buildings were replaced with renewable systems. We also analyzed the remaining 10% in detail as a basis for the further development of the cantonal regulations in the building sector.
