Emmanuel Macron retained 146 of the 149 proposals of the Citizen's Climate Convention. The head of state pledged on Monday to transmit them to the government or parliament. Among them, the compulsory renovation of energy colanders, these old dwellings, poorly insulated and very energy-hungry.

Eleven billion public aid needed
The members of the Citizens Climate Convention have very ambitious objectives: to renovate 20 million homes before 2040, including five million thermal colanders before 2030. In order to achieve this result, they propose to oblige the owners but also the lessors, and in particular the State, to make their buildings more watertight to reach energy classes A, B or C in the most extreme cases. So, in principle, the most energy-consuming classes, D, E, F and G.

The Citizens' Convention mentions a global renovation, so not only by buying new windows or replacing a boiler, but by committing to using less polluting materials.
The members of the Citizens' Convention are well aware that to do this work, it will take a lot of money. They want the poorest households not to have to pay more than 20% of the cost of the work. It is thus estimated that the public aid required would be around eleven billion euros, in addition to the four billion already planned currently.
