The ESC system is based on an obligation to achieve energy savings imposed by the public authorities on energy sellers (EDF, Engie, Total Energies, etc.). It makes it possible to finance thermal insulation work or more efficient heating installations.
The amounts allocated to the thermal insulation of walls, attics, domestic hot water pipes and flat roofs of residential buildings will therefore be reviewed as of May 1, according to the conditions of the decree of December 10, 2021 defining the standardized operations of energy savings:
- Insulation of lower floors: the new premium per m2 is on average 4.73 eurosa decrease of 32%;

- Insulation of domestic hot water networks: the new premium per linear meter is on average 24.77 eurosan average decrease of 21%.
