Refurbishment with life cycle greenhouse gas balance (LCA)

Description

Funding is available for the energy-efficient refurbishment of residential buildings. This must not exceed a limit value for greenhouse gas emissions per square metre of net floor space and per year over the life cycle of the building (50-year observation period).

The subsidy rate is 15 per cent of the eligible investment costs up to a maximum of 150,000 euros per residential unit.

The eligible costs are defined in accordance with 8.2 of the guidelines for federal funding for efficient residential buildings (BEG WG).

If funding from the City of Munich under the FKG and funding programmes of other funding bodies (e.g. the federal government or the Free State of Bavaria) is claimed at the same time, the requirements of these funding programmes must be observed. In particular, their provisions on the cumulative nature of the funding programmes apply. If you have any questions regarding the possibility of cumulation, please contact the responsible office at the respective funding organisation.

You can also apply for bonus measures. Please refer to the guidelines to find out which bonus measures are eligible for funding for this measure.

Prerequisites

All binding information can be found in the directive. Here are the most important points in brief:

The following applies in the FKG:

• Funding is only possible 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" applies to 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.

In addition, the following applies to refurbishment with a life cycle greenhouse gas balance:

• Measures can only be subsidised for existing buildings.
• 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 for the application.

Please submit the authorisation form.

After completion of the measure(s), the proof of use must be created in the funding portal and the following documents uploaded to the funding portal:

• Identification document of the applicant
• GEG calculation including component list with area and U-value calculations as well as a description of the technical system
• Proof of operating emissions based on the energy requirement parameters of the existing building
• Calculation of heated net room area in accordance with DIN 277
• Documentation of the life cycle assessment of the building on the basis of a component list with the refurbished components of KG 300 and 400 that are relevant in terms of energy.
• Sustainability certificates for wood
• Building plans on the basis of which the energy requirement calculation was prepared.
• Completed form " Declaration of life cycle THG balance sheet"
• Confirmation from a specialised company that hydraulic balancing has been carried out using the confirmation form for an efficiency house (residential building) from the "Spitzenverband für Gebäudetechnik" (VdZ-Forum für Energieeffizienz in der Gebäudetechnik e. V., www.vdzev.de/broschueren/formulare-hydraulischer-abgleich).
• List of eligible investment measures and investment costs
• All project-related, detailed calculations
• Proof of product-specific characteristic values
• For homeowners' associations (WEG): Resolution of the WEG on the application to the FKG regarding the measure(s) to be applied for.
