# Advice on the ecological criteria catalogue

## Summary

If you want to build on a municipal property, you must comply with the ecological criteria catalogue of the City of Munich. We can advise you on this.
## Description

The ecological criteria catalogue of the City of Munich contains generally applicable criteria for ecological construction and is mandatory for all construction projects on municipal land. It applies to commercial and industrial buildings as well as privately financed and publicly subsidised residential construction projects.

A two-hour, fee-based consultation at the Munich Building Centre is mandatory.

Contents of the two-hour, fee-based consultation at the Munich Building Centre:

* Energy standard of the building (cubature, A/V ratio, energy index)
* Thermal insulation of the building envelope (thermal insulation, windows)
* Building services (heating, ventilation, cooling)
* Use of renewable energy sources (solar energy)
* Subsidy programmes

## Responsible Department

RKU
## Required Documents

Please bring planning documents such as drafts, plans, energy requirement certificate to the consultation appointment.

## Special Considerations

When selling municipal land, compliance with the criteria is agreed with the municipal department and then checked and implemented by the Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulations.

The transcript and the confirmation of the meeting issued by the Munich Building Centre must be submitted to the Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulations PLAN HA III/2 as part of the submission of the ecological concept.

## Prerequisites

To arrange an appointment, please send the completed questionnaire, which asks for some basic planning information, to the Bauzentrum München. This is the best way to prepare for the consultation.

## Please Note

It is recommended that the following persons attend the consultation appointment on behalf of the property developer:

* Owner or developer
* Architect
* Building services planner (if already commissioned)

The consultation is usually carried out by an architect and a building services engineer.

The consultation is not mandatory, provided that it is proven in the context of the submission and coordination of the ecological concept (with checklist) in the Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulations HA III/2 that a qualified specialist planner (e.g. energy consultant) is significantly involved in the building planning. If this is not the case, advice must be obtained from the Munich Building Centre. The decision on this lies with the Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulations. If the necessary advice is not obtained from the Munich Building Centre, the Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulations will not give its approval to the contractual partner municipal department.

## Fee Range

* For single-family houses and apartment blocks up to and including three residential units:  
  **240 euros** plus VAT
* For apartment blocks with four or more residential units and commercial buildings:  
  **360 euros** plus VAT

## Processing Time

Appointments for counselling can usually take place within one to two weeks of sending the questionnaire.
