We define an efficiency house as an energy standard for residential buildings. The values 40 to 85 define the different efficiency house levels. The lower the value, the lower the energy requirement of the property and the more subsidies you receive.
You can claim the higher funding for the renewable energy class if the heating system based on renewable energies covers at least 65 % of the building's energy requirements.
We support you with a loan with a repayment grant.
