Technical building system for space heating

Decision on municipal instruments for the heat transition

(New) Articles 4.248a and 5.21a0 Bbl may contain technical provisions. In principle, all building owners have the option, within the general rules governing the energy performance of the technical building system for space heating as laid down in the Bbl, to choose a different system from the one offered by the local authority; however, the supply of methane gas to all homes and buildings will be discontinued. In addition, this decision provides for a ban on carbon emissions from fossil fuels that every building owner must comply with. These provisions tighten the energy performance requirements for technical building systems for space heating in a heat transition area to a value of ≤ 0.7 for new builds and renovations where there is no connection to a district heating network. These provisions state that a building owner may choose to use an alternative to natural gas other than the one specified in the local development plan as a replacement for the natural gas connection. The technical building system must then meet the energy performance value for space heating of a value of ≤ 0.7.

A mutual recognition provision is included in Article 1.2 of the Bbl
