There are auxiliary tools in the form of downloadable materials, regulations and instructions for completing and submitting applications.

In addition, the program organizer took care to co-create a common list of the so-called “Green Devices and Materials” (ZUM), which meet the technical requirements specified in the program.

The UTI list is currently being prepared and co-created by producers, and once it is created, it will be an ideal aid in selecting heating devices eligible for co-financing. The devices included in the UTI list are verified for emission tests and meet the conditions of the “Clean Air” program.
