Apply for inclusion as an expert on the Energy Efficiency Experts List

The list of energy efficiency experts serves to ensure that the experts participating in the building subsidy programs of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) possess a high level of professional qualification.
