Germany Funds Low-Carbon Living Space Construction to Achieve Climate Goals

The construction of self-used living space is funded. In order for Germany to achieve its climate protection goals, the loans are only available for new buildings with a low CO2 footprint. At least they must meet the EH40 standard. This means that the building may only use 40 percent of the energy that a standard house needs. In order to achieve a higher funding level, the even more stringent criteria for the sustainable building quality seal must be met.
