The individual renovation roadmap (iSFP) for energy-efficient retrofitting

Reducing CO₂ emissions, the energy transition, climate change – these are all buzzwords that have gained increasing importance in recent years. In the past few months, also driven by the global political situation, the topic of the energy transition has become even more urgent.

The individual refurbishment roadmap (iSFP) – what exactly is that?

When planning to renovate your property, you should ideally to a certified energy consultant from the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control, abbreviated as BAFA. The expert will work with you to develop a comprehensive renovation roadmap, which contains all measures to To optimize your residential building economically and energetically. Of course, it is also important to examine the sequence of the required construction measures very closely. Installing a new heating system first and then carrying out extensive insulation work or replacing windows naturally makes no sense.

The refurbishment roadmap details both the Current state as well as the desired Target condition of the building documented. Using a color-coded traffic light system, you can see at a glance what the energy state of the property is. For example, dark red stands for unrenovated buildings, yellow for partially renovated ones, and green for new builds that meet all legal requirements.

Whether the property owner chooses to have all renovation measures carried out or only individual steps is entirely up to them and, of course, depends on their financial resources. Those who obtain an energy consultation and, as a next step, have the measures recommended in the renovation roadmap carried out can apply for subsidies and, once the work is completed, even receive an additional grant of 5 %. Therefore, anyone who decides to renovate their property is also choosing, due to the energy-saving potential, to significant enhancement of his property.

The creation of the individual renovation roadmap – the specific process

The homeowner's first step in having an individual renovation roadmap created is to contact the energy consultant. For the beginning, a phone call is sufficient. In order to provide optimal advice, the expert needs as many documents about the residential building as possible: floor plans, the existing energy performance certificate, and ideally also documents on energy costs such as electricity or heating. As the next step, an on-site appointment is scheduled to go into detail.

What is the building's thermal insulation like? Does the heating technology need to be replaced?

These are questions that need to be clarified in order to step-by-step measures to prepare for the renovation. Once everything has been clarified so far, the energy consultant can apply for funding for the renovation roadmap at the office and begin creating the document.

Once everything is completed, the property owner receives the documents for review and clarification of any remaining questions. If everything is in the clear, the Renovation roadmap at the BAFA be submitted. The energy expert will also take care of the funding applications. As soon as all formalities are completed, the renovation work can begin.

How much does a renovation roadmap for your property cost?

Since it is naturally also in the interest of the state to curb CO₂ emissions and advance the energy transition, Is the renovation of buildings supported by grants. The fee for an energy consultant and the preparation of a renovation roadmap amounts to approximately 1,500–2,000 EUR, depending on the scope of the documentation. Since 80% of the fee is reimbursed through grants, you typically pay between 200 and 800 EUR. This is definitely worth it when you consider that, once the renovation measures are complete, you can save a significant amount of money on energy costs.

Life is better and gives a good feeling when you not only live in a renovated home, but also do something for the environment. An added bonus is that you have 15 years to implement the planned construction measures in order to still benefit from funding.
