In the derivation of low-energy effective models for solids targeting the bands near the Fermi level, the constrained random-phase approximation (cRPA) has become an appreciated tool to compute the effective interactions. The Wick-ordered constrained functional renormalization group (cfRG) generalizes the cRPA approach by including all interaction channels in an unbiased way. Here we present applications of the cfRG to two simple multiband systems and compare the resulting effective interactions to the cRPA. First, we consider a multiband model for monolayer graphene, where we integrate out the $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ bands to get an effective theory for $\ensuremath{\pi}$ bands. It turns out that terms beyond cRPA are strongly suppressed by the different $xy$-plane reflection symmetry of the bands. In our model the cfRG corrections to cRPA become visible when one disturbs this symmetry difference slightly, however, without qualitative changes. This study shows that the embedding or layering of two-dimensional electronic systems can alter the effective interaction parameters beyond what is expected from screening considerations. The second example is a one-dimensional model for a diatomic system reminiscent of a CuO chain, where we consider an effective theory for Cu $3d$-like orbitals. Here the fRG data shows relevant and qualitative corrections compared to the cRPA results. We argue that the new interaction terms affect the magnetic properties of the low-energy model.
