Funding is provided for consultancy costs amounting to 80 percent of the eligible consultancy fee:

Condominium owners' associations receive a bonus of EUR 500.00 if the results of the consultation are presented at a special meeting (for example, at an advisory board meeting or a condominium owners' meeting).
The funding programme is administered by an energy advisor. The energy advisor applies for the funds him/herself. The energy consultant receives the energy consulting funding from BAFA and issues you an invoice reduced by the amount of the funding.
The energy advisor must present the results of the consultation in an energy consultation report, preferably an individual renovation roadmap (iSFP). He or she will hand this out to you and explain it to you.
Funding is provided in accordance with the provisions of the De Minimis Regulation if the owner of the residential building is an enterprise within the meaning of the recommendation concerning the definition of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
