Funding for Radon Prevention and Remediation

Within the framework of funding for radon prevention and remediation in Upper Austria, radon measurements are supported in all districts, as well as structural renovations in cases of exceeding legal threshold values and preventive measures in new buildings within the designated radon risk area. Private individuals – including homeowners, tenants, and building applicants – benefit from a direct subsidy that covers both existing buildings and new construction projects. The goal is the sustainable improvement of indoor air quality and thus the protection of health and the environment, combined with energy-efficient construction solutions. The funding contributes to climate protection by relying on proven prevention and remediation techniques and enhancing living comfort.

Applications can be submitted at any time free of charge by submitting the completed application form along with all required documents to the responsible state department.

The final performance review includes the examination of the final accounting documents as well as an on-site inspection. The open deadline design offers maximum flexibility: those interested in funding can plan and implement a measure at any time. The transparent processing ensures planning security and promotes innovative structural approaches to radon reduction and energy efficiency throughout Upper Austria.
