Impact on public budgets of the KfW promotional programmes
Measures to reduce energy consumption and decrease CO2 emissions in the buildings sector have been on the political agenda for years. To support the efforts of both private and public property owners and in pursuit of carbon reduction policy goals, KfW has been promoting investment in energy saving and CO2 reduction since the beginning of the 1990s. These activities target an important element of the German Federal Government’s autumn 2010 energy concept [BMWi, 2010].
