Energy renovation is today at the heart of public policies.
This work is indeed essential to reduce the bills of the French, especially those who live in thermal strainers, but also to reduce the carbon footprint, since housing represents a fifth of the country's greenhouse gas emissions.
To reconcile financial and environmental imperatives, the State is acting on different fronts.
Energy-inefficient housing: relocation prohibited
The energy-climate law of November 8, 2019 sets ambitious objectives for French policy, particularly in the fight against heat sieves. It targets homes whose energy consumption is so high that it corresponds to classes F (between 331 and 450 kWh per m2 and per year) and G (over 450 kWh) of the energy performance diagnosis. However, some 4.8 million main residences, or nearly 17% of the total stock, would be affected according to a recent study carried out for the Ministry of Ecological Transition.
By virtue of an implementing decree that entered into force on January 1, 2021, the legislator now prohibits owners of this type of property from increasing the rent in the event of re-letting or renewal of a lease if they have not. sufficiently renovated beforehand.
On the other hand, the measure only concerns the 28 agglomerations located in tense areas and for which lessors must already comply with the INSEE rent benchmark.
Paris, Nantes, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Marseille-Aix-en-Provence, Lyon, Toulouse, Nice, Bordeaux and Lille are thus targeted.
A panel of aid in place
Renovating the housing stock is also an economic necessity for the 3.5 million households who spend more than 8% of their income on energy bills for their homes. According to the National Energy Poverty Observatory, 11.9% of French people were in this situation in 2019. To help individuals finance effective insulation work and replacement of the heating system, the State is therefore offering aid .
At the top of the list, all owners can first of all claim MaPrimeRenov, a flat-rate premium which completely replaced the tax credit for the energy transition on January 1, 2021. If the overall amount is here limited to 20,000 euros over five years, the coverage varies according to the type of site and the level of resources. This subsidy can be combined with energy saving certificates (EEC), the latter in the form of a check in euros or purchase vouchers distributed by gas, electricity and fuel suppliers and certain specialized sites. .
These two systems can be associated with the “Living Better Serenity” program set up by the National Housing Agency for the benefit of the most modest homeowners.
Note, moreover, that a reduced VAT rate generally applies to all work to improve energy performance.
Finally, advantageous imprints allow payments to be spread, like the zero-rate eco-loan (up to 30,000 euros without interest) or the loan from Action Logement (up to 10,000 euros at 1%). ).

New measures
The State intends to gradually toughen the legislation on energy performance.
Beyond the new measures that could be decided, it is already planned to tighten the screws.
The opposable DPE: until now informative, the energy performance diagnosis became opposable on July 1, 2021, which makes it possible to obtain redress from a lessor or a seller in the event of a breach.
The calculation method now also includes lighting and ventilation.
Likewise, real estate advertisements must indicate the estimated annual theoretical energy expenditure for standard use.
Decent housing is changing: from 2023, housing will be qualified as energy decent when its energy consumption is less than 450 kWh / m2.
Beyond that, it will therefore be prohibited to rent it out.
The threshold will be lowered again in 2025, then in 2028, when all energy strainers will be excluded from the rental market.
