Thermal insulation subsidies in canton Geneva

Geneva tops up the federal Buildings Programme with one of the highest per-element flat rates in Switzerland, lower for buried walls than for elements against outside air. A per-element cap applies and is set out in the GEnergie schedule.

Identify each element to be insulated and its exposure — against outside air or against earth — because the flat rate differs and the cap is computed element by element.

Covered rates and scope

Indicative official rate. The final amount depends on the application and cantonal decision.

Points to check

  1. Check the U-value required for elements insulated against outside air.
  2. Separate out buried walls, which carry a lower flat rate.
  3. Check the per-element subsidy cap in the GEnergie schedule in force.
  4. File the request before works begin and wait for the decision.
