Smart Home Promotion New 02/2020

Don’t get me wrong: everyone here deserves the funding granted to them, but actually the entire promotion of stuff in new buildings is total nonsense. You could set corresponding minimum requirements for energy efficiency by law and that would be that. Why should taxpayers’ money be used to push the technical refinement of new buildings to the extreme? It would be better to invest the funding more in the “revival” of dilapidated, vacant old buildings in village and town centers. A lot is collapsing in the East right now. That’s a pity. People who build new usually have an income well above the minimum level. There’s no need to pump the income tax of the Rewe cashier in additionally so that a heat pump with COP 4.9 instead of 4.2 is installed there. Whoever wants a heat pump, photovoltaics and KNX etc should pay for it themselves?! Duck and run :D

But one question, even if it doesn’t change anything now. Why did you have to or did you upload invoices? You only have to upload the table with the amounts, invoice numbers, etc. and the proofs from the paramedic and, in our case, for the drilling. The BAFA never saw the details of the electrician’s invoice from us. I had asked him to summarize the corresponding KNX components in one position, which he did under the category “renewable energies,” I entered this value, invoice number, date, position, payment date, that was it. You are prompted by a list of what needs to be uploaded. I didn’t have to upload a single invoice. Was it different for you?

now I can't really tell you exactly. Our energy consultant submitted the application and requested all the data completely and then probably also uploaded it. However, why exactly this selection of eligibility for funding was made is unclear to me…

Has the trade plumbing listed the KNX items under renewable energies? Or what do you mean by that?
