Funding opportunities for single-family houses with EH55 standard

In buildings, heat generators based on the following energy sources may not be used:
• based on fossil gas/oil,
• based on coal fuels and peat,
• based on fossil-produced hydrogen,
• based on biogenic gas/oil, or
• based on solid biomass.
The exclusion for use also applies to combinations, e.g., condensing boilers with systems for using renewable energies (hybrid systems). The use of the above-mentioned energy sources is possible up to a share of 30% of the annual cumulative useful heat output within a building network, if at least one building supplied by the building network was built before 1995 or if a building permit was applied for before the Wärmeschutzverordnung 1995 came into force on 01.01.1995.

Friends and acquaintances who have recently built with EH55 Standard have all not installed a ventilation system and do not have any problems. Of course, if you don’t want to ventilate, then you will need one. But you can save about €10,000 by not having one.

If you ever experience the difference in air between a house without and a house with controlled residential ventilation, you know what we are talking about here (or you can get some numbers here in the forum from several people about how the air quality in the bedroom deteriorates at night).

The income limits for the Bayernlabo are currently being met thanks to parental leave.

In cases of income conditions that are certainly going to change within the next 12 months (such as the end of parental leave), this higher income will be taken into account for the calculation of the income limit.

Thank you for the objection, then I might have to inform myself in this direction again. My views are, as I said, so far purely based on the statements and experiences of friends who were initially unsure but now say that they are happy without controlled residential ventilation.
