Promotion of efficiency measures (BEG-linked) (FKG)

Course description

Funding is available for measures on the building envelope and system technology (except heating) of existing residential buildings as individual measures or packages of measures. These are window replacement, insulation of the building envelope, system technology (except heating replacement) and heating optimisation.

The following information applies to applications submitted by 31 December 2023 Funding for individual measures

For applications submitted between 1 January 2024 and 10 December 2025, the following information applies Funding for efficiency measures

For applications that are or have been submitted from 11 December 2025, you will find all relevant information here.

The funding rate for all individual measures on the building envelope and system technology is as follows

• five per cent basic subsidy

The following surcharges can be added to the basic subsidy:

• five per cent worst-first supplement for buildings that have an energy efficiency class of G or H based on a needs assessment prior to refurbishment. The supplement is granted for measures with an ISFP that achieves at least EH55 standard. This requirement also applies to listed buildings.
• five per cent of the eligible costs as a multi-family house supplement for buildings with three or more residential units.
• five per cent of the eligible costs as an area supplement for buildings in areas that are designated as an "area with heat pump after refurbishment" or "test area" in the Municipal Heating Plan portal, as well as for a limited period in areas with an integrated neighbourhood approach or outreach energy advice.

You can also apply for bonus measures. You can find out which bonus measures are eligible for funding in the guidelines.

Prerequisites

All binding information can be found in the directive.

Here are the most important points in brief.

The following construction measures can be subsidised:

• Individual measures on the building envelope
• system technology (except heating)
• Heating optimisation

The following applies to the Climate Neutral Buildings (FKG) funding programme:

• Funding is only available for buildings within the city limits of the City of Munich.
• The applicant is responsible for the investment costs. This means that all orders, invoices, etc. must be issued to the applicant and paid from their bank account. The funding amount is paid out exclusively to the applicant's bank account.
• The principle of "funding application before order" is mandatory for the application. No contract for the measure may have been awarded yet. If an order has been placed with the companies carrying out the construction work for which the application is to be made, this will prevent FKG funding!
• Among others, building owners and equivalent persons, for example usufructuaries, are eligible to apply. Further information on the group of applicants can be found under "Questions & Answers".
• The application must be submitted exclusively online in the municipal funding portal.

The following also applies to efficiency measures:

• Measures can only be subsidised for existing buildings.
• The building must have an energy efficiency class of E, F, G or H based on a calculation of requirements prior to the refurbishment. The energy efficiency class is verified via the energy requirement certificate or an energy efficiency calculation of the condition prior to the refurbishment.
• These measures are part of a building-specific energy consultation that was created with the help of an individual renovation roadmap (iSFP). The iSFP must outline a step-by-step refurbishment programme that will achieve at least energy standard EH55 by 2035 at the latest once all measures have been implemented. The following apply to listed buildings
• the requirements of BEG EM apply. Further information can be found under "Questions & Answers".
• The measures are linked to funding from the "Guidelines for Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings - Individual Measures (BEG EM)". FKG funding is only possible if the same measures have been successfully subsidised by the federal government (BEG EM).
• Applications can only be submitted for an entire building, not for individual residential units.

Required documents

No documents are required when submitting the application.

After completion of the construction project(s), the following documents must be uploaded. In the funding portal, uploading these documents is called "Submit proof of use":

If the application is to be submitted by an authorised person representing the applicant, the power of attorney form must be submitted.

• Proof of authorisation to apply. Example: A private individual submitting the application themselves must upload their ID. For WEG, see WEG subpage.
• Notification of federal funding
• "Technical project report" (TPN) on the implementation of the subsidised project and the eligible costs of the federal subsidy
• Invoices for the expenditure incurred
• Declaration of efficiency measures form
• Consultancy documents "My refurbishment roadmap" and "Implementation guide for my measures"
• for listed buildings: evidence of the relevant listed building requirements and the listed building licence

The efficiency measures checklist summarises the documents to be submitted.
