5 steps to window funding
- 1
Involve an energy efficiency expert (EEE)
BEG funding requires a registered energy efficiency expert (EEE). We coordinate the right EEE for your project.
- 2
File the application BEFORE awarding the contract
The BAFA application must be filed before you award the contract – otherwise funding is lost. Together with the EEE we ensure the correct order.
- 3
Choose eligible windows (Uw ≤ 0.95)
Only windows with a U-value of at most 0.95 W/(m²K) are eligible. We advise on suitable PVC, aluminium or wood-aluminium models.
- 4
Professional RAL-compliant installation
Professional installation also counts as an eligible cost. We fit to RAL standard – all from one source, including disposal of the old windows.
- 5
Submit proof & receive payment
After completion you submit the proof; BAFA pays out the subsidy. We provide all the documents needed for the installation.
Window funding in Gifhorn – for families and old buildings
Gifhorn combines a large stock of detached houses from the 1960s to 80s, the historic timber-framed old town and young new-build areas such as Gamsen. Thanks to its proximity to Volkswagen, many families move here – and renovate older houses with funding in mind, where the old windows are often the biggest energy weak point. Through BAFA BEG EM (the German Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings – individual measures) there is a 15% grant, and with an individual renovation roadmap (iSFP) up to 20% (with iSFP), provided the new windows achieve a U-value (Uw) ≤ 0.95. Important for Gifhorn's older buildings: wood and wood-aluminium windows are also eligible, as long as this U-value (Uw) is met – a perfect fit for the character of timber-framed and existing buildings. We coordinate the mandatory energy efficiency expert (EEE), make sure the application is in place before the contract is awarded, and install to RAL standard. The exact funding amount remains subject to funding approval.
