Social landlords are confident in the eradication of housing with energy labels F and G by 2025 and 2028, corresponding to thermal sieves, but much less for those classified E and D, which are much more numerous, according to a study published Tuesday.
According to the study by the National Social Housing Control Agency (Ancols), housing with energy performance diagnosis (DPE) F and G represented approximately 6% of the social housing stock as of January 1, 2022, or 300,000 housing units.
The vast majority of landlords are confident about the eradication of housing labeled G by 2025 and F by 2028, as provided for in the timetable set by the Climate law, otherwise they will be rental is prohibitedunderlines the study, even if the government announced adjustments on Sunday as the deadline of January 1, 2025 approaches.
Concern for housing labeled E or D
The concern mainly concerns housing labeled E or D, which are much more numerous, both for reasons of increasing costs of renovations and lack of qualified personnel, notes Ancols. The agency estimates 15% of the number of class E social housing and 39% of D housing.
Among the difficulties mentioned by landlords when renovating,identification of accommodation which will have the worst labels upstream of the creation of the new DPE. The latest reform of the DPE coming into force in July 2021 provides for a new method which has led to uncertainty about the state of the park, according to Ancols.
THE low number of diagnosticians on the market and the lack of qualified internal staff also constitute significant obstacles, to which can be added the inflationary context and the shortage of materials.
Emergency renovations
Ancols also warns of renovations by monogestes not integrated into a long-term project but intended to respond urgently to the timetable of the Climate law. According to her, these renovations constitute a medium-term risk because they could force the lessor to intervene again on these dwellings in the fairly near future while having to treat dwellings E and D.
The other risk is that donors no longer consider it a priority the adaptation of their park the aging of the population, disability, or the dislocation of households, always out of concern to prioritize compliance with the Climate Law timetable.
The survey was carried out between June and October 2023 among around thirty social housing stakeholders.
