Funding opportunities for your green facade

Green facades make an important contribution to climate adaptation and can be subsidized in many places. The funding options available for your project depend, among other things, on the location, the building, and the chosen greening system. We provide you with an initial overview even before you begin planning.

  • the short answer:

    Yes, there are various funding opportunities available for green facades in Germany. These are primarily offered by municipalities as part of greening and climate adaptation programs, and in some cases through state programs or as part of comprehensive renovation measures.

    Since requirements and funding amounts vary depending on the location and program, the application must be submitted before the project begins. We would be happy to check in advance which options are suitable for your location.

three ways to support

  • Municipal greening programs

    Many cities and municipalities support facade and roof greening through their own funding programs for climate adaptation and urban greening. Depending on the municipality, either a fixed grant per square meter or a percentage of the project costs is provided. Points of contact are generally the local environmental or urban planning office.

  • State and federal programs

    Depending on the federal state, various funding programs for climate-adapted construction and renovation are available, which may also cover facade greening. For more extensive renovation projects, greening can often be integrated as part of the overall concept.

  • commercial paths

    For companies, façade greening can be considered as an operating expense as well as a component of ESG and sustainability strategies.
