Annual Biennial Continuous Event-triggered Monthly One-time Other Quarterly Weekly

Regulation-wide (no rule set) Whoever constructs a building Owners of existing residential and non-residential buildings heated to at least 19 degrees Celsius for at least four months a year Existing buildings where external building elements are renewed, replaced or installed for the first time Owners of existing buildings or building networks replacing the heating system Existing buildings with a gas, heating oil or LPG heating system newly installed after 29 July 2026 Non-residential buildings with a system rated output above 70 kilowatts Operators of heating, cooling and ventilation systems and hot water supply systems Heat pumps in buildings with at least six dwellings or self-contained units, commissioned after 31 December 2023, without remote monitoring and without a maintenance contract Water-based heating systems in buildings with at least six dwellings or self-contained units Water-based heating systems after installation of a heating system in buildings with at least six dwellings Operators of air conditioning systems and combined air conditioning and ventilation systems with more than 12 and up to 70 kilowatts of cooling output Operators of air conditioning, combined air conditioning and ventilation and ventilation systems above 70 kilowatts Developers and owners on construction, alteration, sale and letting Sellers, landlords, lessors, financial lessors and estate agents Developers and owners of buildings to be constructed and of altered buildings Companies carrying out works on or in existing buildings in the course of business Inspecting persons Building owners holding a contractor declaration Buildings where distribution equipment, air conditioning systems, ventilation systems or pipes are installed or replaced Buildings to be constructed, except buildings serving national and alliance defence New non-residential buildings with more than 250 square metres of useful floor area Existing non-residential buildings above 500 square metres of useful floor area undergoing alterations of external building elements Existing public non-residential buildings above 2 000 square metres of useful floor area Existing public non-residential buildings above 750 square metres of useful floor area New residential buildings and new roofed car parks Existing public non-residential buildings above 250 square metres of useful floor area Owners of existing non-residential buildings built before 1996 without biomass, heat pump or district heating Owners of existing non-residential buildings New buildings above 1 000 square metres of useful floor area

From 1 January 2030 the owner of an existing non-residential building must ensure by suitable measures that the annual primary energy demand for heating, hot water, ventilation, cooling and built-in lighting does not exceed 3.5 times that of a reference building with the same geometry, useful floor area, orientation and use built to the technical reference design of Annex 2; a primary energy factor of 0.7 is always used for the reference building. The requirement is deemed to be met where the building was constructed on or after 1 January 1996, where the owner shows that a building constructed earlier was brought to the level of the 1994 Thermal Insulation Ordinance, where the heating system generates heat mainly from biomass or a heat pump, or where the building is supplied with district heat. It does not apply where compliance is technically impossible or economically unreasonable or conflicts with other public-law provisions, nor to listed monuments or particularly protected building fabric, low-energy industrial plants, workshops and agricultural buildings, free-standing small buildings, buildings serving national and alliance defence, or buildings for which demolition, closure of the site, a change of use or a comprehensive refurbishment has been decided. Further references: Section 40(2) to (4) as in force from 1 January 2027, Annex 2.

Ab dem 1. Januar 2030 hat der Eigentümer eines bestehenden Nichtwohngebäudes mit geeigneten Maßnahmen dafür zu sorgen, dass der Jahres-Primärenergiebedarf für Heizung, Warmwasserbereitung, Lüftung, Kühlung und eingebaute Beleuchtung das 3,5fache des Jahres-Primärenergiebedarfs eines Referenzgebäudes nicht überschreitet, das die gleiche Geometrie, Nutzfläche, Ausrichtung und Nutzung aufweist und der technischen Referenzausführung der Anlage 2 entspricht; für das Referenzgebäude ist immer der Primärenergiefaktor 0,7 zu verwenden. Die Anforderung gilt als erfüllt, wenn das Nichtwohngebäude ab dem 1. Januar 1996 errichtet wurde, wenn der Eigentümer für ein älteres Gebäude das Anforderungsniveau der Wärmeschutzverordnung von 1994 nachweist, wenn die Heizungsanlage die Wärme überwiegend mit Biomasse oder einer Wärmepumpe erzeugt oder wenn das Gebäude mit Fernwärme versorgt wird. Sie ist nicht anzuwenden, soweit ihre Einhaltung technisch unmöglich oder wirtschaftlich unzumutbar ist oder anderen öffentlich-rechtlichen Vorschriften widerspricht, und ebenso wenig auf Baudenkmäler und besonders erhaltenswerte Bausubstanz, auf Industrieanlagen, Werkstätten und landwirtschaftliche Nutzgebäude mit niedrigem Energiebedarf, auf freistehende kleine Gebäude, auf Gebäude der Landes- und Bündnisverteidigung sowie auf Gebäude, für die Abriss, Betriebsaufgabe, Nutzungsänderung oder umfassende Sanierung feststehen. Weitere Fundstellen: § 40 Absätze 2 bis 4 in der ab 1. Januar 2027 geltenden Fassung, Anlage 2.
