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 guidelines.

Here is a brief summary of the key points.

The following applies to the Climate-Neutral Buildings Funding Programme (FKG):

• Funding is only available for buildings within the city limits of the State Capital of Munich.
• The applicant must be the party bearing the investment costs. This means that all contracts, invoices and similar documents must be issued in the applicant’s name and paid for from their bank account. The funding will be paid exclusively into the applicant’s bank account.
• The principle of ‘funding application before contract’ must be strictly adhered to when submitting an application . No contract for the project may have been awarded yet. If a contract has already been awarded to the contractors for the construction project for which funding is being sought, this will prevent FKG funding!
• Those eligible to apply include, amongst others, building owners and persons treated as such, for example, usufructuaries. Further information on who is eligible to apply can be found under ‘Questions & Answers’.
• Applications must be submitted exclusively online via the city’s funding portal.

Furthermore, the following applies to the renovation standards:

• Measures are only eligible for funding in existing buildings.
• Before renovation, the building must have an energy efficiency rating of E, F, G or H, based on an energy demand calculation. The energy efficiency rating is demonstrated by the energy performance certificate or an energy efficiency calculation of the building’s condition prior to renovation.
• The measure is subject to funding under the “Guidelines for Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings – Residential Buildings (BEG WG)”. FKG funding is only available if successful federal funding (BEG WG) has already been granted for the same measures.
• Applications may only be submitted for an entire building, not for individual residential units.
• The use of fossil fuels (such as heating oil, natural gas or coal) or gaseous or liquid biomass or hydrogen will result in exclusion from funding. Note: This does not apply to electricity used to power heat pumps or SWM district heating.
• The installation of window and door frames made from tropical timber will result in exclusion from funding.

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.
