Admittedly, when thinking of energy measures, one primarily considers insulation, the renewal of windows and external doors, or the renewal of the heating system. It is somewhat less known that since 2021, "summer heat protection" is also eligible for funding. This is somewhat hidden in Appendix 4a to the ESanMV.

It specifically states: "Funding is provided for the replacement or initial installation of external sun protection systems with optimised daylight provision, for example, through light guidance systems or radiation-dependent control. The requirements of DIN 4108-2:2013-02 for minimum summer heat protection must be met."

The "Second Ordinance Amending the Energy-Efficient Renovation Measures Ordinance" has transferred changes to the "Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings (BEG) - Individual Measures" to ensure the technical consistency of the funding. This includes the removal of funding for gas-powered heat pumps, gas condensing technology, and gas hybrid heating systems, as well as adjustments to building and heating network requirements. For biomass heating systems, the BEG changes to room heating efficiency and particulate matter are implemented.

This ordinance applies to measures from 31.12.2022.
