Frequently asked questions about KfW EH 55 funding 2026

How long is the KfW funding for the Efficiency House 55 available?
The KfW funding for the Efficiency House 55 (EH 55) under the "Climate-friendly new build" programme officially ends at the close of 30 June 2026. What matters is the point at which your application reaches the KfW. In addition, a budget proviso applies: once the €800 million funding pot provided is exhausted, the programme closes even earlier.
How much is the KfW EH 55 funding worth in 2026?
Funding is provided via a low-interest loan of up to €250,000 per residential unit (KfW 296 "Climate-friendly new build" programme). The effective annual interest rate depends on the term and, in 2026, is well below the open market rate (from around 1% p.a., as of 2026). The KfW itself publishes the binding, up-to-date terms.
What conditions must be met for the KfW EH 55 funding?
The building project must be approved but must not yet have begun. No supply, service or purchase contracts may be signed before submitting the application. The application goes to the KfW via your financing bank before construction begins. Proof of the EH 55 standard is provided by an energy efficiency expert.
Why does acting quickly pay off?
The funds are tightly limited, so the first-come, first-served principle applies: whoever applies first is served first. With only €800 million in the pot and the firm deadline of 30 June 2026, the funding can expire early at any time. Anyone who wants to build should therefore settle their provider and financing early in order to submit the application in good time.
Do prefabricated houses reach the EH 55 standard?
Yes. Many prefab house providers already implement the Efficiency House 55 standard as standard, and quite a few even reach the more demanding EH 40 level. Via our free comparison you will find suitable providers who build in a way eligible for funding, and you receive the documents to prepare your KfW application in good time before 30 June 2026.

As of: June 2026, without guarantee. Funding conditions, terms and deadlines can change at any time. You can obtain binding information and submit an application directly from the KfW – Climate-friendly new build.
