Building renovation: federal funding for energy-efficient buildings

This measure aims at large- and small-scale renovations to increase the energy efficiency of residential buildings.

The general aim is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the housing sector and contribute to the fight against climate change.

Households, local authorities, companies and other organisations can benefit from support for the energy-efficient renovation of their buildings.

At least 40 000 housing units will be renovated and they will have to achieve energy savings of at least 45%.

In addition, as part of the REPowerEU-chapter, also 190 000 individual energy-efficient renovations are covered.

This includes support for the installation of building envelopes, systems technology (without heating), solar collectors, biomass heating systems, electric heat pumps and a combination of these categories.

Furthermore, a 10% funding bonus is provided for replacing old oil/coal-based heating systems with energy-efficient alternatives.
