Financial aid for the construction of a sustainable residential building (Klimabonus scheme 2026)
Last update
The Environment Agency (Administration de l'environnement – AEV) grants subsidies for investment projects undertaken to:
- improve the long-term sustainability of a residential building;
- implement technical installations making use of renewable energy sources.
This Klimabonus aid can only be granted once and only for a residential building located in Luxembourg. This can be:
- a single-family house; or
- a dwelling in a multi-unit building.
Who is concerned
This Klimabonus aid can be requested by:
- natural persons;
- legal persons established under private law;
- public legal persons other than the State.
In the event the applicant is a legal person carrying out an economic activity and requesting financial aid, this aid shall be granted in accordance with the Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2831 of 13 December 2023 on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to de minimis aid. The total amount of de minimis aid granted to the business cannot exceed the ceiling set out in Article 3(2) of said Regulation.
In this respect, please indicate which of the following scenarios applies:
- entry in the de minimis register: State aid is entered in the de minimis register in the name of the business making the application, except in the event of transfer of said aid to another person; or
- transfer of aid: in the event of transfer of the aid to a third party, the beneficiary is required to provide formal proof of the transfer, such as a duly signed deed of transfer or a notarised deed explicitly certifying the transfer of the aid to the final recipient. Please indicate the name and identification number of the final recipient of the aid.
You can submit your application in your capacity as:
- the legal representative of a group of natural or legal persons, provided that you are a part of this group yourself;
- the owner(s) of the dwelling, except when there is a change of ownership and the new owner of the dwelling and/or technical installation forgoes the aid in question for the benefit of the former owner who made the investments.
Prerequisites
Only residential buildings – whether wholly or partially residential – for which the building permit is applied for between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2026 are eligible for aid under this financial aid scheme.
In addition, the building must satisfy certain technical criteria (see the Grand Ducal regulation of 7 April 2022).

Depending on the type of building and the year in which the building permit was applied for, specific additional conditions must also be satisfied. These include the sustainability criteria 4.1.1 and 5.8.1, as provided for in Appendix 2 of the Grand Ducal regulation.
