Evaluation reports 2023 of the federal subsidy for efficient buildings (BEG)

With the ‘Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings’ (BEG), the federal government is promoting both the energy-efficient refurbishment efforts of building owners and the switch to heating with renewable energies. Since 2022, ifeu has had the annually recurring task of evaluating the BEG as an independent research institute. This is done together with its consortium partners Prognos AG, FIW and ITG and on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK). Within this framework, it will be examined whether the objectives pursued are actually being realised in practice and with what effect. The Ministry has now published the evaluation reports for the 2023 funding year. 

Evaluation results:

• The BEG promotes the willingness to invest and makes a positive contribution to the implementation of refurbishment measures.
• The target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions that are harmful to the climate was once again exceeded. Around 92% of the savings were achieved through refurbishments with individual measures.
• The BEG creates jobs in Germany.
