Service Description

If you are investing in the construction or purchase of energy-efficient non-residential buildings for municipal and social infrastructure, you can apply for a loan with a repayment subsidy under certain conditions.

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) promotes measures to increase energy efficiency.

You can receive a loan of up to EUR 25 million for the following measures:

  • New construction or purchase of energy-efficient non-residential buildings in the municipal and social infrastructure that meet the requirements for a KfW efficiency building,
  • energy-efficient expansion of non-residential buildings in the municipal and social infrastructure that do not yet fall within the scope of the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) but meet the requirements for a KfW efficiency building after expansion,
  • energy-efficient expansion of non-residential buildings of municipal and social infrastructure by more than 50 square meters that meet the requirements for a KfW efficiency building.

The funding covers measures for the preparation, implementation and commissioning of the funded measure, such as ancillary work or planning costs.
You will not receive funding

  • for buildings with an oil-fired heating system,
  • for cash loans and debt rescheduling of already completed and fully financed projects,
  • if you have already started the measure before submitting the application.

There is a benchmark for energy-efficient buildings, the KfW Efficiency Building Standard. The lower the number, the more efficient your building is and the less energy you need. The following standards are subsidized:

  • KfW Efficiency Building 55,
  • KfW Efficiency Building 70.

If you carry out your measure in accordance with the KfW Efficiency Building 55 standard, you can receive a repayment subsidy of 5 percent of the loan amount. You can receive a maximum repayment grant of EUR 50 for each square meter of renovated net floor area.

If you carry out your measure in accordance with the KfW Efficiency Building 70 standard, you will not receive a repayment grant.

You will only receive the repayment subsidy once you have completed your project and provided proof of completion to KfW. To do this, you must prove

  • that you have used the money for the measure applied for,
  • that you have achieved the KfW Efficiency Building Standard.

You must keep all invoices and documents relating to the measure.

Applications for funding are processed by the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW).

You are not entitled to approval of the funding.


Process flow

You must submit the application for funding in writing to the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW).

  • Plan your measure with an energy efficiency expert. Before submitting your application, this expert must confirm that your measure
    • meets the minimum technical standards and
    • achieves energy savings.
  • Complete the application form. Send the application form together with the other required documents by post to the KfW branch in Berlin.
  • You must also identify yourself in accordance with the Money Laundering Act. To do this, complete the form "Identification in accordance with the Money Laundering Act" and have it certified by an identifying body. The identifying body forwards the form directly to KfW.
  • KfW will check whether your planned measure meets all the requirements and whether you can provide the necessary collateral. You will then receive a notification from KfW by post with a loan offer.
  • Complete the declaration of acceptance and send it to KfW by post or fax.
  • KfW will send you a written confirmation. Fill in the application form and send it to KfW by post or fax. KfW will disburse the loan amount to you. You start implementing the measure,
  • When you have completed the measure, you must prove to KfW
    • that you have spent the money from the loan on the measure and
    • that your measure meets the standard for KfW efficiency buildings.
  • You send this evidence to KfW.
  • Once KfW has checked the evidence, you will receive the repayment subsidy as a credit to your loan account. This reduces your loan term.
