Unanimously, on March 21, 2019, members of Berlin's state parliament voted in favor of promoting urban timber construction.
Following in the footsteps of Baden-Württemberg, the state of Berlin has now also decided to focus on wooden buildings in the future with its application "Sustainability in construction: Berlin builds with wood". As part of the Berlin Energy and Climate Protection Programme (BEK), wood as a building material is to be used to a much greater extent from now on and, as a carbon dioxide reservoir, is to make a contribution to climate protection and resource efficiency.
As the largest builder in the city-state, the Berlin Senate is to lead the way in the future and increasingly use wood in state buildings such as schools, kindergartens and residential buildings. In addition, subsidy programs such as those in Baden-Württemberg, Hamburg and Munich should create incentives for private builders. A timber construction cluster is to develop and bundle competencies along the value chain in the long term.
Since April 2018, an amendment to Berlin's state building code has facilitated timber construction for private and public buildings. Load-bearing components of multi-storey buildings can now be made of the natural material without the need for a time-consuming case-by-case assessment.
For new buildings and complete modernisation projects, Berlin will in future apply the Sustainable Building Rating System (NBB) with its defined, transparent standards for sustainability.

Düsseldorf. With the Förder.Navi, an online tool of the EnergyAgency.NRW, you can now find your way through the funding jungle even faster. The tool (www.energieagentur.nrw/foerder-navi) helps private individuals, companies and municipalities to find funding opportunities when it comes to energy-efficient renovation, for example.
Whether a committed citizen, entrepreneur or representative of a municipality - financial support is often helpful for investments in energy efficiency, climate protection and renewable energies. And this is available from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the federal government or local public utilities. This is because the public sector and regional energy suppliers promote numerous measures to implement the energy transition. But what subsidies are available for individual measures and which of them are available to whom? What are the requirements? And can subsidies be combined?
The Förder.Navi shows the way. With the EnergyAgency.NRW's online tool, it is possible to access the right information on the various funding programmes quickly, efficiently and in a target group-oriented manner. The tool allows filtering by applicant, funding topic, funding type and funding agency. To make this even easier and clearer for the user, the Förder.Navi was recently relaunched.
From now on, a brief overview of all funding programmes will appear first in the user's respective query. This simplified structure provides an initial overview and orientation of the diverse funding programmes. If required, the user can then request more detailed information in the detailed view. Both the brief overview and the detailed view can also be downloaded as a PDF.
