Climate event in Kirchhellen: This is how sustainably renovated!

On January 31, 2025, a central information event for climate -friendly renovation will take place in Bottrop. This event aims to inform the population about the latest developments in the field of energy renovation. The auditorium of the Vestic Gymnasium at Schulstraße 25 will be the scene, on which experts from the city administration, the Rheinruhr climate agency and the local economy will be represented.

The event begins with the introduction of the project "Prima.Klima.Ruhr metropolis". After this presentation, various exhibition stands are set up, which deal with various aspects of the climate -friendly renovation. Kirchhellen, an important location in this initiative, was selected as one of eight experimental quarters in the Ruhr metropolis. In order to further support the efforts to renovate, the Ministry of Home, Local, Construction and Digitization of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia provides 420,000 euros for renovation management. bottrop.de reports that ...

nationwide funding programs

At the macroeconomic level, the Federal Ministry of Building launched a funding program for new climate -friendly new buildings in 2023. This program was increased by 888 million euros at the end of May 2023, which provided a total of around two billion euros for new construction programs. As part of this program, around 46,000 new apartments were funded with funds of 1.98 billion euros. From December 14, 2023, however, no application for the climate -friendly new building funding (KFN) will be possible. New applications can only be made again from the entry into force of the Federal budget in 2024.

challenges in construction

Despite these extensive support measures, the federal government and the construction industry face major challenges. In particular, the shortage of building land, the shortage of skilled workers as well as material bottlenecks as well as rising interest rates and prices make the situation difficult. However, the federal government has clearly set itself the goal of achieving climate neutrality in the building sector by 2045. The new building funding 2023 is targeted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the life cycle. Measures that are funded include the new building of climate-friendly residential and non-residential buildings as well as the first sale within twelve months after the construction acceptance.

The funding is financed through the climate and transformation fund (KTF). The funding framework stipulates that up to 100,000 euros per residential unit can be provided for residential buildings if it is a matter of climate -friendly new buildings. If a QNG certificate is present, this can increase to up to 150,000 euros. Not only private builders, but also companies, non -profit organizations and municipalities are eligible to apply. Cooperation with an energy efficiency expert is imperative. bmwsb.bund.de informs that ...
