Energy-efficient Construction, Home Ownership and Baukindergeld
Our promotional programmes target private persons, landlords and housing companies. We promote the construction of new energy-efficient homes.
For whom?
For everyone who is building or purchasing an energy-efficient home.
What does "energy-efficient" mean?
Energy standards are laid out in the Energy Conservation Ordinance (Energieeinsparverordnung). These standards apply to all new buildings. We finance homes that consume less energy than this ordinance demands. Such energy-efficient homes require innovative heating technology based on renewable energies (such as solar, geothermal, biomass, wood, wind, hydropower) and very good thermal insulation. So they cost more to build than a "normal" new home.
What kind of promotional funds are available?
Loans of EUR 120,000 per housing unit are available at favourable conditions. The better the energy standard, the higher the repayment bonus.
Loan application: with your bank
