Timber construction subsidy program; application for a subsidy for timber construction measures.
The Free State of Bavaria promotes the bound amount of carbon dioxide for the new construction, extension and addition of storeys to multi-storey residential buildings and buildings of local authorities in timber construction, such as administrative buildings, as well as social infrastructure.
Description
Purpose
The aim of the funding is to conserve finite resources by increasing the use of construction elements made of wood and other renewable raw materials and to make a significant contribution to climate protection in the construction sector by storingCO2.
Subject
Eligible is the stored carbon in the context of the following construction measures in the Free State of Bavaria:
- New construction, extension and addition of storeys to buildings of local authorities in timber construction (buildings for public purposes such as administrative buildings, buildings for social infrastructure such as schools and kindergartens)
- New construction, extension and addition of storeys to multi-storey residential buildings in timber construction.
The new building must be planned with a gross floor area of at least 300m2 and the extension and addition of storeys with a gross floor area of at least 100m2.
Beneficiaries
Eligible to apply are local authorities, also in municipal cooperation in the form of special-purpose agreements and special-purpose associations, as well as natural persons and legal entities under public and private law.
Funding requirements
Timber construction in the sense of the guideline is the use of wood in load-bearing structural elements of buildings. The load-bearing structural elements must be predominantly made of wood. However, at least the load-bearing structure of the building envelope and one other load-bearing structural element must be implemented in timber construction.
Proof must be provided for the use of renewable, carbon-storing building materials. This is done using a calculation tool that determines the amount of renewable raw materials used and the associated amount ofCO2 stored.
Type and scope
The grant is awarded as a subsidy without legal entitlement and within the scope of the available budget funds. The amount of the grant is 500 euros per ton of storedCO2.
Prerequisites
- Eligible buildings are those that meet at least the energy standard corresponding to "efficiency house standard 55". In the case of the measures "addition of storeys" and "extension", the minimum energy standard for the newly constructed storeys or floors must be complied with.
- Timber construction in the sense of the guideline is the use of wood in load-bearing structural elements of buildings. The load-bearing structural elements must be predominantly made of wood. At a minimum, however, the load-bearing structure of the building envelope as well as another load-bearing structural element must be implemented in timber construction.
- Proof must be provided for the use of renewable, carbon-storing building materials. This is done using the "CO2-Tool" calculation tool, which determines the amount of renewable raw materials used and the associated amount ofCO2 stored.
- The eligible building materials must correspond to the current state of the art, be ready for the market and be suitable for the respective building measure and the construction method to be used. In addition, the use of raw materials from sustainable production or management is a prerequisite.
- Only measures that have not yet been started can be funded.
Procedure
- The application for funding must be submitted to the responsible district government using the currently valid application forms and the documents specified therein.
- Grants will be awarded within the limits of the available budget in the order in which applications are received. There is no legal entitlement to claim funding.
- The government arranges for the subsidies to be paid out and checks the proof of use.
Special notes
Amounts of less than 25,000 euros per construction measure are not eligible for funding (de minimis limit). The maximum total grant amounts to 200,000 euros per construction measure (maximum funding limit).
