GründachPLUS – Berlin's funding scheme for more roof greening
GründachPLUS is a funding scheme from the Senate Department for Environment, Transport and Climate Action that will increase quality of life in the capital through green roofs.
Subsidies are available for greening the roofs of buildings in certain areas of Berlin with more than 100 square metres of vegetation.
You can find the State of Berlin's Terms and Conditions for the GründachPLUS funding scheme in the Funding Guidelines (pdf).
What does the GründachPLUS provide funding for?
The Berlin funding scheme for roof greening was designed to provide comprehensive funding for construction measures aimed at creating living roofs, renovating roofs to make them greener, urban gardening, garage roof greening and green roof terraces.
GründachPLUS offers two funding streams for planned roof greening projects:
- Regular funding; and
- Green Roof Lab projects.
Both are aimed at the creation of green or living roofs on existing properties, while Green Roof Lab funding is reserved for high-quality and exemplary projects.
Regular funding | Green Roof Lab |
Eligible applicants to the regular funding stream can receive grants for conducting roof greening projects on existing properties with a planned green area of at least 100 m². This includes carport greening and garage roof greening. | Green Roof Lab projects are sophisticated roof greening projects with a high level of quality which will act as examples for later projects. They are characterised by an innovative, experimental, participatory or community-focused approach.
|
Regular funding for roof renovations and roof greening is available exclusively for inner-city areas with limited open space and high levels of pollution. | Funding may also be provided for greening new builds (roofs and façades) and for actions outside of the support region
