A green roof on your garage is not only a visual enhancement but also provides numerous ecological benefits, for example, by improving the microclimate and promoting biodiversity. However, the initial costs can be daunting. Fortunately, various funding programs in Germany offer financial support for your green roof project. In this article, we present some of these funding programs and explain how you can use them to make your garage environmentally friendly.

 

  • Funding program for green roofs
      • If the greening structure is at least 10 cm high, you can be reimbursed 25% of the eligible costs (up to €5,000). The maximum subsidy is €30/m².
      • From a greening height of 15 cm, the subsidy increases to 30% of the eligible costs (up to €6,000), with a maximum subsidy of €35/m².
      • In addition, there is a bonus of €5 per square meter (maximum €1,500) for biodiversity-promoting measures
  • KfW promotion:
    • KfW funding for green roofs is possible as part of the Federal Subsidy for Efficient Buildings (BEG) if it is part of a roof renovation that meets certain minimum technical requirements. Important points:
      • Energy efficiency: Green roofs can be regarded as an energy-efficient renovation measure, as they help to insulate the roof.
      • Application before the start of the project: The application for funding must be submitted before the green roof project begins.
      • Involvement of an energy consultant: This is mandatory for the application.

In many cities, especially in large cities such as Berlin, Munich or Hamburg, property owners are required to provide a compensation area for the sealed or built-up area in order to mitigate the negative effects of soil sealing on the environment. Greening the roof of your garage can be an excellent way to meet these requirements, as it can be recognized as a compensation area. A green garage not only provides added aesthetic value, but also helps to improve the microclimate, promotes biodiversity and helps to retain rainwater, which is particularly beneficial in urban areas.

Green roofs are a sustainable project that enhances your garage and the environment. With the right financial support, you can transform your garage into a green oasis and make a valuable contribution to environmental protection at the same time.
