Ventilation systems with BEG funding

Blog article 07.02.2024

Lack of concentration, declining motivation, and fatigue—oxygen deficiency impairs our performance and well-being. But constantly opening windows is annoying and costly. After all, valuable heat is lost every time you ventilate a room.

Mitsubishi Electric offers a more comfortable and significantly more efficient solution with its Lossnay ventilation units, which provide controlled ventilation with heat recovery, especially in buildings with airtight envelopes.

Equipped with a powerful heat recovery system, Lossnay ventilation units extract stale air while simultaneously supplying the room with fresh outside air. During this exchange, the existing cooling/heating energy is almost completely utilized, enabling energy savings of up to 70 percent. This efficiency is rewarded with subsidies for the use of the products. The individual measures of the Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings (BEG) take this technology into account in the context of plant engineering.

Ventilation and air-conditioning systems are eligible for subsidies

Subsidies for ventilation and air conditioning systems

The government not only subsidizes the installation of new ventilation equipment in existing buildings, but also subsidizes the replacement of inefficient ventilation systems with new ones that meet the minimum technical requirements, as well as the optimization of existing systems.

It is irrelevant whether the property in question is a residential or non-residential building. In both cases, eligible measures relating to the use of efficient ventilation systems can be subsidized with grants amounting to 15 percent of the investment sum. In residential buildings, a bonus of 5 percent is possible if the measure is mentioned in the iSFP.

An energy efficiency expert must also be consulted when applying for subsidies for the use of ventilation equipment.

It is also irrelevant whether the systems are central or decentralized ventilation systems.

The requirements for power consumption and heat supply efficiency are also considered to be met if the system has a specific energy consumption of SEV < -26 kWh/(m2a) in accordance with the Ecodesign Directive. The decisive factor here is the amount of energy that a system theoretically saves compared to ventilation with open windows. The heat loss that would result from opening the windows is offset by the power consumption of the devices.

Almost all Lossnay systems are eligible for BEG EM subsidies.

The use of ventilation systems is also being promoted in residential buildings. In addition to the basic subsidy of 15 percent, a bonus of 5 percent can be granted here. To qualify, the measure must be listed in the individual renovation roadmap (iSFP) for the building in question.

Ventilation also eligible for funding under systemic measures

Ventilation support

The promotion of systemic measures is not about individual measures or areas, such as ventilation. Rather, all projects that ultimately lead to a building's energy status reaching a certain level of efficiency are considered as a whole.

The technical values of the ventilation systems are included in the overall energy assessment of the building and affect its energy rating.

The amount of the subsidies depends on the type of building (residential/non-residential), the segment (new construction/renovation), and the efficiency level achieved.
