3. Advice for households

A new system of free advice on energy savings for households, including renovation certificates.

Trained energy managers and specialists:

•           Free advice on how to reduce a home’s energy consumption
•           They will outline the support options available under the New Green Savings programme
•           They will issue a renovation certificate
•           Across all regions of the Czech Republic

Regional seminars:

•           They will raise public awareness of energy-saving issues and the options for financing them
•           Particularly in smaller towns, in collaboration with EKIS advice centres

Renovation certificate:

•           Assessment of a building’s condition
•           Proposal for an efficient renovation
•           Recommendations on the order in which energy-saving measures should be implemented

The renovation passport will serve as the basis for an application for the ‘Nová zelená úsporám Light’ grant for vulnerable households and for an application to assess the project’s eligibility for an interest-free NZÚ loan.

The new energy advisory scheme will be launched in April 2026.
