BEG funding for Efficiency House 55 in new construction will be discontinued

Unfortunately, I know many companies in my circle of acquaintances that no longer offer any after the requirement was dropped... And the jobs were really 100% doable without being on-site... Too bad

In this one respect, one should actually be grateful to "Corona": it swept away thirty years of stagnation and refusal on the subject of home office overnight. However, if setbacks are now being made again, I must unfortunately also say that the "employee German Michel," with his unionization level at developing country standards and his sluggishness regarding works council elections, doesn’t deserve any better!

If I understand correctly, you need the "confirmation for the application (BZA)" from the energy efficiency expert to apply for funding in the grant variant. But what does the EE expert need to create this confirmation? It might still make sense for some to push things a bit with the general contractor during the planning phase and get the funding application approved by 01/31/22.

"The renovation standard should be raised to the technical specification 'KfW Efficiency House 55'. For new buildings, the minimum standard should be 'KfW 40 Plus' or the Passive House standard,"

These are proposals for the amendment. For example, from the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy. Let's see what actually comes...

Wow, that is quite a significant jump, both for renovation and new construction, if that is really supposed to become the MINIMUM standard.

I would really like that!

It’s really about time to start building future-proof houses.
However, I think it’s important that construction and perhaps also disposal are included in the balance.
And please, not normalized by living space or something like the weight for cars!

Uff, too bad! I would also be interested to know if it is still realistic to have the funding approved by the end of January when you are just at the beginning of the planning phase.

Any experiences regarding the duration from floor plan planning to confirmation for the application (BZA)?

if I look at what our leadership level drives, the criticism is fully confirmed.

A leadership level is just the framework layer, the majority of employees do not belong to it. The company car taxation is an economic stimulus program for the automotive industry, participation in which only pays off from the group leader level onwards. For the skilled worker or even the average clerk, it is not worthwhile to have their salary converted in this way: the "company car" is taxed as if one had received the entire new price (!) as additional salary over eight and one-third years, and that also linearly. For people who privately settle for a used car, this is not an attractive alternative. It becomes really unattractive when you need a real company car and then also use it privately, when it has to be a Passat for work but a used Up (so used that it is still called a Lupo) would suffice privately.

In my opinion, the subsidy that is much more annoying for the general public takes place elsewhere: namely, when armored behemoths are leased to the ministerial ranks for product placement of Audi, BMW, and Daimler in news programs at conditions that are sometimes far below list prices with zero equipment. If such "Street Force One" models were also taxed at twelve percent of the real new price per annum, the ministers would soon all be riding bicycles.
