Plan out your renovations

Before starting your renovation work, changing your heating system, or selling your home, request a CECB® Plus audit to get an eco-rating for the property.

The audit report will include up to five personalized variants for energy-saving renovations. Unlike a standard CECB® audit report, which includes only an energy assessment, CECB® Plus goes further by including concrete, personalized solutions for your home.

Thanks to BCV, you’ll get an exclusive discount of CHF 250 on your CECB® Plus audit* in addition to the cantonal subsidy.

Alternatively, if you just want to replace your heating system, check out the Chauffer Renouvelable program from SuisseEnergie.

*Offer available only for BCV clients upon presentation of the audit invoice.

Choose a construction supplier

Need help finding a tradesperson or construction company to do your renovation work? Check out this directory of local suppliers from the Fédération Vaudoise des Entrepreneurs (FVE).

Subsidies under the Swiss federal and cantonal buildings program can cover up to 30% of the cost of renovation work to improve a building’s energy efficiency. This mainly concerns roof and wall insulation, solar panel installation, and heating system replacement.

When you take out a BCV loan for your energy-saving renovations, you’ll pay zero interest for the first 12 months.*

*Valid for a fixed-rate mortgage loan or a Building Plus loan with a term of at least five years. At least 25% of the total loan amount (minimum CHF 20,000) must be used for energy-saving improvements eligible for federal, cantonal, and communal subsidies.

Get started (in French)

Carry out the renovation work

Once you have the building permit or authorization for renovation work and your subsidies have been approved, you can hire a general contractor and start the work. When it’s completed, you will need to inform the Vaud Environmental Board (Direction générale de l’environnement) by submitting the necessary form (Avis d’achèvement). This final step makes the end of the project official and means your subsidies can be paid.

Your architect or general contractor can help you submit this form.

Important: Do not start the renovation work before receiving written confirmation that your subsidies have been approved. Work that has already started, or is already finished, is not eligible for subsidies.
