Promotion of refurbishment standard (BEG-linked) (FKG)

Course description

Funding is available for the refurbishment of residential buildings that meet the FKG efficiency house standard (EH 55 or better or EH monument).

The following information applies to applications submitted by 10 December 2025: Funding for refurbishment standard

For applications submitted from 11 December 2025, you will find all relevant information here:

The subsidy for refurbishments according to refurbishment standards is made up as follows:

10 per cent basic subsidy

The basic subsidy can be topped up with the following surcharges

5 per cent worst-first supplement for buildings that have energy efficiency class G or H before refurbishment on the basis of a needs-based calculation. The supplement is granted for refurbishments in which at least EH 55 standard is achieved. This requirement also applies to listed buildings.

5 per cent of the eligible costs as a multi-family house supplement for buildings with 3 or more residential units.

5 per cent of the eligible costs as an area supplement for buildings in areas that are designated in the Municipal Heating Plan portal as an "area with heat pump after refurbishment" or "test area", 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. Please refer to the guidelines to find out which bonus measures are eligible for funding.

Prerequisites

All binding information can be found in the directive.

Here are the most important points in brief.

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 the refurbishment standards:

• 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 needs-based calculation 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.
• The measure is linked to funding from the "Guidelines for Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings - Residential Buildings (BEG WG)". FKG funding is only possible if the same measures have been successfully subsidised by the federal government (BEG WG).
• Applications can only be submitted for an entire building, not for individual residential units.
• The use of fossil fuels (e.g. heating oil, natural gas, coal) or gaseous or liquid biomass or hydrogen leads to the exclusion of funding. Note: This does not apply to electricity from electrically driven heat pumps and SWM district heating.
• The installation of window and door frames made of tropical wood leads to exclusion from the subsidy.

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 subpage WEG.
• Confirmation of disbursement from KfW Bank or confirmation of the KfW repayment subsidy from your house bank
• confirmation after implementation (BnD)
• Documentation with the evidence required for the respective efficiency class in the TMA of the federal subsidy, including calculation of the GEG and BEG requirements and energy performance certificate of the building
• All invoices for the expenditure incurred in accordance with BnD
• Completed form Declaration of Efficiency House in Existing Buildings

A summary of the documents to be submitted can be found in the Efficiency House in Existing Buildings checklist.
