What is the ZUM List in the Clean Air Program?

Introduction

The Clean Air Program is an initiative aimed at improving air quality in Poland by providing financial support to homeowners who decide to modernize their heating systems. A key element of the program is the ZUM list (Green Devices and Materials), which specifies products eligible for funding.

What is the ZUM list?

The ZUM list is a compilation of devices and materials that meet strict ecological and energy standards, allowing for funding under the Clean Air Program. Products on the list must be energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and compliant with applicable EU regulations.

Who can benefit from the ZUM list?

Homeowners and individuals with ownership rights to residential buildings looking to modernize their heating systems can benefit from the ZUM list in the Clean Air Program. The applicant's income must not exceed 135,000 PLN per year. The program is available for both individuals and housing cooperatives planning to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings. Purchasing heating devices from TERMOFOL that are on the list guarantees funding.

What criteria must products on the ZUM list meet?

Products on the ZUM list must meet specific criteria, such as:

• Energy efficiency: Devices must have high energy efficiency, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced emissions of pollutants.
• Ecology: Products must be environmentally friendly, minimizing negative impacts on the atmosphere.
• Compliance with regulations: Devices must meet current standards and regulations regarding emissions and energy efficiency.

Compliance with these criteria will be verified by the Institute of Environmental Protection - National Research Institute. The regulations and criteria for verification can be found at: https://lista-zum.ios.edu.pl/termsOfUse.html

Termofol Products on the ZUM List

Termofol offers a wide range of products that meet the criteria of the ZUM list, including cables, mats, and heating films produced in Poland. Termofol's electric heating solutions combine energy efficiency with user comfort. These systems are easy to install and operate, and their high energy efficiency allows for significant savings on heating costs. They perfectly fit the profile of devices eligible for funding under the Clean Air Program 2024.

ZUM List Funding

The Clean Air Program offers funding for the purchase and installation of devices from the ZUM list. The amount of funding depends on the type of device and the scope of the work performed. Funding can cover both the costs of purchasing devices and the costs of their installation.

How to obtain funding for devices from the ZUM list?

To obtain funding for devices from the ZUM list in the Clean Air Program, you need to go through several steps:

1. Check eligibility: Ensure that you meet the conditions of the Clean Air Program. Analyze the scope of planned work and define it. Of course, the most important element here should be the replacement of the main heat source in the building with a new and ecological one.
2. Select devices: Choose the appropriate devices from the ZUM list that best meet your needs.
3. Submit an application: Submit an application for funding to the appropriate office or online through the Beneficiary Portal or the gov.pl platform. Submitting an application is relatively straightforward; the completed form must be signed and submitted to the relevant branch of the Provincial Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management corresponding to the address of the building where the renovation is planned. Applications can also be submitted in person at the municipality office that has an agreement with WFOŚiGW. Importantly, the application must include a certificate of annual income (which must not exceed 135,000 PLN) issued by the appropriate authority.
4. Project implementation: After the application is approved, proceed with the project implementation, including the purchase and installation of devices. The program conditions allow for works such as:

1. • replacement of old heat sources (stoves and boilers using solid fuels) and the purchase and installation of new heat sources that meet the program's requirements,
   • insulation of building partitions,
   • replacement of windows and doors,
   • installation of devices utilizing renewable energy sources (such as photovoltaic panels),
   • installation of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.

1. Receive funding: After submitting a payment application, funds will be disbursed after the completion of subsequent stages of the investment. It is important to note that applications are processed within 30 days from the date of submission (14 days for a loan application).
