This year, the canton of Lucerne has given a total of 8 million francs in funding, the cantonal service for the environment and energy ( uwe ) informed in a message . Around 1100 projects have thus been supported. This year's funding program was expanded to include automatic wood heating systems and a new advisory service for heating replacement.
As of September 2nd, this year's announcements will be exhausted, the announcement further explains. "We are pleasantly surprised at the early exhaustion of the program," government councilor Fabian Peter (FDP), head of the building, environment and economic department, is quoted there. In particular, the advice on heating replacement made "an important contribution to the climate target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050".
When it comes to building renovations, Peter sees a need for action. The energy-related renovations have so far been less than 1 percent annually. "That's not enough to achieve our climate goals," says Peter. He points out that the building program “makes sense not only ecologically, but also economically”. Because the money from the CO2 levy flowed back into the canton, “the building industry benefited in addition to homeowners and tenants”.
