 The grant can be applied for in three different categories:

• balcony and awnings audit to inspect the technical condition of balconies and awnings.
• energy audit to find out how energy is consumed in an apartment building
• roof and balcony load-bearing capacity assessment audit to determine the possibilities for installing sustainable energy production, conversion and storage devices.

The upper limit for the grant is 70% of an apartment building’s audit costs, but:

• a maximum support limit of 1000 euros applies for the balcony and awnings audit
• a maximum support limit of 3000 euros applies for the energy audit
• a maximum support limit of 3000 euros applies for the roof and balcony load-bearing capacity audit

 Support conditions
