eristatavust

Eristatavust is a Finnish term used to describe financial support aimed at insulation work to improve energy efficiency in buildings. The phrase combines eristää (to insulate) and avustus (aid), and is generally used informally or descriptively rather than as a formal title of a specific program.

In practice, eristavust-type support may be offered by municipalities, housing corporations, or government agencies as part of energy efficiency or housing subsidy schemes. The support may cover costs of materials and installation, professional consulting, or energy audits related to insulation projects. Eligible projects usually include insulation upgrades in attics, walls, floors, or around pipes, as well as sealing and draught-proofing measures.

Programs typically require the work to be carried out by approved or licensed contractors and to meet defined energy performance standards. Some schemes may be linked to broader retrofit or climate targets and may require pre-approval and post-installation validation, such as energy savings documentation.

Eligibility for eristatavust targets often include owner-occupied homes, rental properties, or housing cooperatives; income or property-related criteria may apply. The amount and duration of eristatavust can vary by jurisdiction and program.

Notes: Because eristatavust is not a single formal program in Finnish national policy, its exact meaning and availability depend on local administration and current energy policies.
