Programme to Support Residential Condominiums
Programa de Apoio a Condomínios Residenciais
Background information
The purpose of the Programme to Support Residential Condominiums is to finance energy efficiency measures that improve the thermal comfort of residential buildings, contribute to the reduction of energy bills and the renovation of existing housing stock.
Specifically, this programme aims to promote the adoption of thermal insulation measures for façades, roofs and floors, which have the greatest potential for energy efficiency and energy savings in buildings.
This support programme falls within the scope of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), specifically investment TC-C13-i01 - Energy in residential buildings, included in Component 13 - 'Energy Efficiency in Buildings'.
Content of measure
This programme is addressed to multi-family residential buildings, under horizontal or vertical ownership, built and licensed for residential use up to and including 31 December 2006, located throughout Portugal.
Condominiums in multi-family residential buildings are eligible to apply. In the case of
buildings in total ownership with floors or rooms that can be used independently,
in the absence of a condominium, individual owners may apply, in their capacity as
responsible for the common areas of the residential building to be intervened in this context.
Types of intervention supported :
* Type 1: Application or replacement of thermal insulation in roofs;
* Type 2: Application or replacement of external thermal insulation on walls;
* Type 3: Application or replacement of thermal insulation in floors.
One or more different types of intervention can be included in a single application.
The Notice has an overall budget of €12 million.
The support to be allocated will be non-refundable grants, which will cover eligible expenditure and will be subject to co-financing rates and to financial limits, for each type of intervention:
* Type 1: €4,000
* Type 2: €4,750
* Type 3: €4,000.
In addition to the incentive, a sum of €400 is added for the mandatory technical support for the implementation of the intervention typologies considered in the application and the costs of the optional energy certification if the applicant wishes to carry out.
Under no circumstances may the total incentive to be awarded exceed the maximum amount of €150,000 per application.
