Procedure details

The energy efficiency expert list serves to ensure a high level of professional qualification of the experts participating in the building promotion programmes of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). The experts are involved in the process of energy consulting as well as the planning and implementation of energy efficiency measures in buildings within the framework of the funding programmes.
The aim of these funding programmes, which are implemented on behalf of the BMWi by the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) or the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA), is to increase energy efficiency and the share of renewable energies in the renovation and new construction of residential and non-residential buildings.
The programmes at KfW include:
