Bundesförderung für effiziente Gebäude (Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings – BEG)

The office supports the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE), as well as the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB), the KfW Group and the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) in the concept development, coordination and implementation of the Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings (BEG) programme. 

Implementation is based on a standardised funding structure for residential and non-residential buildings.

Individual refurbishment measures are funded through a subsidy towards the investment costs. Refurbishments that upgrade properties to an efficient building standard as well as new climate-friendly buildings receive support by means of low-interest loans. The funding is supplemented by a bonus system. 

Clear funding requirements, minimum technical requirements, support from qualified specialists and quality assurance measures are used in order to achieve high climate protection effects.

Procedures, professional interpretation and technical processes will be standardised in order to increase the appeal and impact of the Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings programme. In addition, dena performs additional quality assurance measures as part of the office’s activities.
