In total, Germany plans to invest €140bn in recovery measures. Germany’s NRRP is just a part of this, comprising close to €26bn from the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). Close to €2.6bn of that (~10%) is allocated to renovation. These funds exclusively target the residential sector as federal funding for energy-efficient buildings, while Germany’s overall recovery package targets other building sectors as well. €57m are allocated to municipal living labs, which are conducting research on the energy transition and their implementation until 2026; and €20m will support the development of climate-friendly construction with timber, running to the end of 2021. A further €500m is allocated to a special “child day care expansion” programme including new buildings, conversions, renovations, and equipment (not included in the figure below). Green Recovery Tracker analysis suggests that most building-related measures are likely to have a very positive impact on the green transition.
