Holzbauförderprogramm; Beantragung einer Förderung für Holzbaumaßnahmen

The Free State of Bavaria promotes the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered for the construction, extension and addition of storeys to multi-storey residential buildings and buildings for the purposes of local authorities using timber construction.

Purpose

The aim of the funding is to conserve finite resources by increasing the use of building elements made of wood and other renewable raw materials and to make a significant contribution to climate protection in the construction sector by storing CO2.

Object

The amount of carbon stored as part of the following construction measures in the Free State of Bavaria is eligible for funding:

• New construction, extension and addition of storeys to buildings for the purposes of local authorities in timber construction (buildings for public purposes such as administrative buildings, buildings for social infrastructure such as nursing homes, homes for the disabled, schools and day care centers)
• New construction, extensions and additions to multi-storey residential buildings in timber construction

The new building is to be planned with a gross floor area of at least 300 m2 and the extension and addition of storeys with a gross floor area of at least 100 m2.

Type and amount

The funding is granted as a subsidy.
The type of grant is a project grant.

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 CO2 stored.

• Proof must be provided for the use of renewable, carbon-storing building materials. This is done using the CO2-Tool calculation tool, which is used to determine the amount of renewable raw materials used and the associated storage quantity of CO2.
• The eligible building materials must correspond to the current state of the art, be ready for the market and be suitable for the respective construction project and the construction method to be used. The use of raw materials from sustainable production or management is also a prerequisite.
• Funding can only be provided for measures that have not yet been started.
