The incentives are as follows: -- Tax reductions: income tax reductions were available from 1 January 1990 until 31 December 1995 for heat insulation improvements, heating regulation, the replacement of boilers or in some instances the installation of a wood stove in main residences built before 1 January 1982. This measure was renewed in 1996. The tax reduction is valid for any type of work (not only energy management improvements) if it is carried out by professionals. The CEKAL…

As well, participants cannot incur any costs related to the project until they receive a signed Contribution Agreement from the Government of Canada. Since August 2008, the ecoENERGY Retrofit Incentive programme for buildings has been open to projects in larger buildings. Businesses and public institutions with 10,000 to 20,000 square metres of floor space are now eligible to receive incentives to undertake retrofit work aimed at improving their energy…

        Construction of buildings above min. requirements - Multi- and single-family houses - ECB (H006)

        Targets new construction of family and apartment buildings above the applicable minimum energy performance requirements. Energy savings determined as the difference between total energy demand per minimum requirements at building permit and actual energy demand per the energy performance certificate (EPC) at completion. Data collected from INFOREG information system. Managed by the Ministry of Transport of the Slovak Republic.

        Electromobility Guarantee

        The Modernisation Fund in the Czech Republic aims to enhance energy efficiency and promote renewable energy projects. With a substantial increase in funding, the program supports nearly 1,600 projects, including heating, photovoltaic systems, and energy savings in energy-intensive industries. It also benefits households through the HOUSEnerg programme, part of the New Green Savings subsidy scheme. The fund has significantly boosted the installed capacity of solar power plants and contributes to substantial CO2 emission reductions, aligning with the country's climate goals and energy self-sufficiency efforts.

        Renovation of buildings outside the green economy area (RRF)

        Support will be available for the renovation of public buildings owned/managed/exclusively used. Energy savings will be monitored and verified on the basis of energy performance certificates. Investment measures related to the renovation of buildings will comply with the requirements of the "no significant disturbance" principle, including the prevention and recycling of construction and demolition waste and a boiler replacement scheme, which will represent a small part of the overall building renovation programme.

ESCOs, Energy Service Companies are companies that invest in energyefficiency facilities and rovide maintenance services and energy management monitoring for customers. They recover the investment from the energy savings achieved from their services. Starting out with the registration of four companies in 1992, the number of registered ESCOs grew to 220 by 2014.

        The Green Precincts Fund provided AUD13.3 million over four years to support high-profile demonstration projects that delivered water and energy savings while educating the community about water and energy efficiency. The demonstration projects include those that deliver substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency measures, such as solar power generation, solar hot water services, smart metering, energy efficient appliances and lighting, wind generation and functional green building design. The program was completed in June 2012.

In addition building owners are obliged to record, for connected heating systems by 1 January 2014 at the latest, the percentage of energy consumption accounted for by water heating, in principle by meansof a heat meter. In addition the provisions of the Heating Costs Ordinance create an incentive to comply with the so-called low-energy building standard (thermal heat requirement of less than 15 kWh/M ²) in the constructionor…
