As a member of the EU, the Czech Republic has implemented the EU Emissions Trading Scheme via Act on Conditions on Greenhouse Gas Emissions Allowances Trading No. 383/2012 Coll., as amended, adopted in 2012. Auctions of allowances produce income, which the state uses to, among other things, finance activities leading to a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and support industrial innovations and measures aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of buildings.

In general, energy-efficient technologies using renewable energy in buildings are also funded from the EU structural funds. As mentioned in "Incentives for Green Retrofit", the governmental subsidy program currently in place, the Green Savings Program, includes incentives for green roofs, photovoltaic panels and chargers for electric vehicles.

There are certain taxes that are referred to as ecological and that generally concern solid fuels or electricity. Certain items are excluded, such as solid fuels used for cogeneration of electricity and heat. Under Act No. 261/2007 Coll., certain tax reliefs apply to environmentally friendly electricity if certain statutory requirements are met. However, this tax only applies to taxpayers, who, as suppliers, supply electricity to consumers.
