Energy sobriety OK, but what to do when collective heating is still the norm in many buildings?
Even if today in each condominium, individualized heating costs have been compulsory since August 2015 and the law on green growth, which transposed a European directive, in practice, exemptions are still numerous and collective heating legion.
This is mostly the case in public housing buildings, where this is the most common mode of heating.
At the last congress of the Union sociale pour l'habitat in Lyon, the figures presented were unequivocal: among the 84% of collective housing stock, 63% of them still use collective heating, which represents 53% of all of the accommodation.
How then can we consider making energy savings, when we know that approximately 62% of energy consumption in the home is invested in heating, when it is collective and therefore beyond the control of the occupants?
You live in public housing where collective heating is the norm, how do you save money on your energy bill? Did your landlord decide last spring to turn off the heating system earlier or turn it on later this fall? Is this reflected in your charges and how? Even if you don't live in public housing but your condominium has not applied individualized heating costs, tell us your tips for saving energy and reducing your expenses on this specific item.
