Considering the art. 2 paragraph 4 of annex 3 of the Legislative Decree. 199/21, which allows you to derogate from the minimum quotas of renewable coverage for heating, cooling and DHW consumption, it is possible to benefit from the volumetric bonus provided for by the art. 12 of Legislative Decree 28/11 if the project includes connection to district heating?

The volumetric bonus provided for by art. 12 of the Legislative Decree. 28/2021 is applicable only for interventions that fall within the scope of the decree itself:

  • new buildings;
  • buildings undergoing significant renovation (art. 2 of Legislative Decree 28/2021).

Having seen what is contained in the Legislative Decree. n. 28/2011 and in the Legislative Decree. n. 199/2021, given the percentages from renewable sources (RES) to be covered to obtain the volumetric bonus envisaged by the art. 12 of the Legislative Decree. 28/2011 and subsequent amendments, taking into account that the volumetric bonus is specific for those interventions that increase the use of renewable sources by at least 30% (compared to the legal minimum), it is believed that the same cannot be granted in the case of interventions for which the minimum quotas are derogated in application of the art. 2 paragraph 4 of Annex III of the Legislative Decree. 199/2021.
