Forest fire prevention measures of the cantons
Contains the forest fire prevention measures currently in force in the cantons.
The FOEN's forest fire danger warning contains the general daily forest fire danger based on meteorological data and the resulting forest fire indices.
Ausgehend von der «Tranquillity Map des Schweizer Mittellands» wurden aus den berechneten «Tranquillity»-Werten bestimmte Erholungsgebiete abgeleitet. Dazu wurden Flächen selektiert, die über mindestens 50 zusammenhängende Rasterzellen hinweg (5 km2) einen bestimmten «Tranquillity»-Index nicht unterschreiten. Durch dieses Verfahren konnten für das Schweizer Mittelland 53 grossräumige Gebiete abgeleitet werden, die sich für die ruhige Erholung eignen.
Die «Tranquillity Map des Schweizer Mittellands» zeigt auf, wo es im Schweizer Mittelland in der Nähe grosser Siedlungen naturnahe und wenig lärmbelastete Gebiete gibt, die sich für die ruhige Erholung eignen. Dazu wurde die biogeographische Region Mittelland in ein Raster von 100 x 100 m Zellengrösse eingeteilt. Durch die Berechnung verschiedener positiver und negativer Faktoren, die über Augen bzw. Ohren das Ruhe- und Erholungserlebnis beeinflussen, wurde pro Rasterzelle ein «Tranquillity»-Wert errechnet.
Federal register of Buildings and Dwellings: energy/heat source heating
The Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings (RBD) was created on the basis of information from the 2000 population census for statistical purposes.The RBD has established itself as the standard national information system for buildings, not least thanks to the total revision of his ordinance, which came into force on July 1, 2017. The RBD contains information on construction projects, buildings, dwellings, entrances, and streets. Level A data are public and can be used without restriction. The data layer "RBD: energy/heat source of the heating system" shows graphically (color) the energy/heat source of the most powerful heating system and the relative update date (shape).
Estimation of direct CO₂ emissions based on heat demand according to SIA standard 380/1 (2016)
The Swiss building stock is responsible for around a quarter of CO2 emissions. Reductions in this area are key to achieving the climate targets.
The map "CO2 Emissions Buildings (SIA 380/1)" can be used to estimate how much CO2 is emitted for each residential building. These CO2 emissions are calculated for standard conditions for heating and hot water requirements. For the calculation, the publicly accessible input data from the Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings (GWR) of the Federal Statistical Office are used. This data is not up-to-date everywhere and does not include sufficient information on building renovations. An interactive CO₂ calculator can be used to simulate how the CO2 value changes when energy-efficient renovations are taken into account or a change of energy source is made. The data entered is not saved. You can use this tool for each building under "Object information".
The information is to be understood as a rough estimate and does not represent official or binding data.
The CO2 visualisation with the CO2 calculator creates transparency and shows that it is particularly important to keep the ‘GWR' data up to date. Building owners can help themselves to keep the climate and energy-relevant building data in the ‘GWR' up to date. A link under "Object information" for each building contains a description of how to report any outdated data.
