Energy-Efficient Buildings for a Sustainable Energy System
Funds Swedish companies, public bodies, universities and research institutes developing energy-efficient building solutions through Swedish Energy Agency research and innovation grants.
Energy-Efficient Buildings for a Sustainable Energy System (Swedish: "Effektiv energianvändning i bebyggelsen för ett hållbart energisystem") is a research and innovation grant call run by the Swedish Energy Agency (Energimyndigheten). It sits under the agency's main built-environment program, Resurseffektiv bebyggelse (Resource-Efficient Buildings), which runs from 31 March 2023 to 31 December 2031 with an initial budget framework of SEK 510 million for the whole program period.
This specific call has about SEK 100 million available, recorded here as a shared pool because the source page does not state a per-project minimum or maximum award. The grant covers two parts: research and innovation projects that develop new solutions, technology, perspectives and knowledge, and innovation clusters that bring partners together to identify needs and strengthen work in the field. The aim is buildings whose energy and power use is efficient and supports a flexible, sustainable and robust energy system without harming the climate.
The call is open to companies and industry associations, municipalities and other public organisations, the social-science, humanities, technical and natural-science disciplines of universities and colleges, and research institutes. Companies can apply directly, so a for-profit deep-tech firm working on building energy efficiency is eligible without needing an academic host.
Applications are submitted through the Swedish Energy Agency's online service (Mina sidor), with the full call text ("Fullständig utlysningstext") giving the detailed rules. The last day to apply is 18 November 2026 at 23:59. The source page does not publish the scoring criteria or a numerical scale, so applicants should read the full call text for evaluation details.
Practical caveats: the page states only the total amount for the call, not what any single project can receive, and it does not give a co-funding rate, project length, or a direct application URL. State-aid rules normally apply to company funding from the Swedish Energy Agency, which can limit how much of a company's project costs are covered, but this page does not state the rate.
Energy and resource efficiency in the built environment: new solutions, technology, knowledge and perspectives that cut buildings' energy and power use and help create a flexible, sustainable and resilient energy system. The call has two parts — research and innovation projects, and innovation clusters that strengthen the field through collaboration.
