Sports facility refurbishment - now with up to 50 % funding from the federal states
August 7, 2025
If tennis, all-purpose, equestrian or field hockey clubs have one thing in common, it is usually this: a lack of money. Especially when the traditional clubs operate halls that are getting on in years. Or there is a general need for refurbishment. The costs of modernization are often difficult to bear. But there is good news: the federal states are helping clubs financially and supporting the renovation of sports facilities with up to 50 % in funding*.
One of the biggest components of traditional clubs is the heating system in the halls. Why? Because they come under pressure from two directions: On the one hand, due to the far too high consumption costs of old heating systems, and on the other, due to the climate protection requirements that legislators place on heating systems. However, the renovation of old heating systems often appears to be a major construction site that is also too costly. It is postponed year after year.
"We receive a total of up to 40 % subsidies and effectively heat where the heat needs to go."
E. Katschke, ESV Ingolstadt-Ringsee e.V.
Yet the timing for heating renovation has rarely been so favorable. Clubs not only benefit from the sports facility subsidy, they also significantly reduce their energy consumption by using modern infrared hall heating solutions. This is because highly efficient heating is only used when the hall or individual pitches are in use. This pays off in many respects:
- Clubs benefit sustainably from low energy costs (savings of 40-70 percent)
- Entsprechend reduzieren sie die CO₂-Emissionen und leisten einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Energiewende
- They meet the statutory climate protection requirements
Die jüngste Generation Infrarotheizungen heißt Fair.AIdH. Mit Systemen wie FUTURA, FUTURA E, MAXIMA E-Hybrid oder ELEXTRA lassen sich heute schon erneuerbare Energien wie Netz- oder PV-Strom nutzen und skalierbar bis 100 % CO₂-frei heizen. Damit stellen sich Vereine wirtschaftlich und zukunftssicher auf. Bis weit nach 2045. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unverbindlich here.
* The funding rate may vary depending on the federal state if the hall operator is a club, association or local authority. The funding programs of the respective federal states apply. Please also refer to the relevant information here.

How to save 3.7 million kWh - almost 70 percent! - energy can be saved? This is demonstrated by the joint project of hall heating specialist KÜBLER and Höganäs Germany GmbH (formerly H.C. Starck) at the Laufenburg site near the Swiss border. For dena, this is a flagship project that the German Energy Agency is publishing on its new website as an example of good practice. -
The "Die Alu" site looks back on over a century of aluminum history. Today, 3A Composites and two other companies produce on the site in the south of Baden-Württemberg. A new lightweight hall with an area of 2,000 m² was built in 2023 to store the primary material. Shortly afterwards, the 20 x 55 m packaging hall was also modernized in terms of energy efficiency. The heating requirements After the exit from [...] -
55 percent less CO₂ emissions by 2030, 80 to 95 percent by 2050 - these are the German government's targets for the building sector. In addition to residential and office buildings, there is also a great need for industrial buildings (production halls, etc.). In this area, the heating systems from the Ludwigshafen-based infrared specialist KÜBLER already meet the requirements of the next decade. A joint research project between KÜBLER and the Technical University of Kaiserslautern entitled InfraEff now promises the decisive innovative step on the 2050 stage. Supported and funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research - BMBF. The cooperation partners met in Ludwigshafen on March 13 to kick off the project. -
The task The well-insulated new hall with an area of around 900 m² and a ceiling height of around nine meters will house storage areas for raw materials, machine parts and end products in addition to production. Christoph Buxbaum answers the question of what requirements he has for the heating of the new hall as follows: "Three simple reasons were decisive. The new building [...]
