Poor insulation can lead to significant heat lossThis results not only in higher energy bills, but also in a larger carbon footprint for the building in question. This not only results in higher energy bills, but also a larger carbon footprint for the building in question.
Passoires thermiques and the DPE
Homes rated E, F or G by the Diagnostic de Performance Énergétique (DPE) are considered to be “heatwasters” due to poor insulation. In fact, these classifications indicate a poor energy performance of the buildingparticularly in terms of heat loss.
Insufficient insulation leads to over-consumption of energy to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, resulting in higher energy bills and a larger carbon footprint. This means that the fight against heatwasters must inevitably involve improving insulation of homes.
Energy renovation incentives
Incentives have been introduced to encourage the renovation of energy-guzzling homes. Starting in 2025, it will be forbidden to rent out the most energy-inefficient homesrated F or G according to the Diagnostic de Performance Énergétique (DPE).
This measure aims to encourage homeowners to improve the energy efficiency of their property to make them more attractive on the rental market. In addition, from July 1, 2024, new eligibility requirements will be applied to MaPrimeRénov’the financial assistance scheme for energy renovation work, to encourage the renovation of the most energy-intensive homes.
Reducing water consumption
