Thermal strainers: improve eyesight

A clarification for owners of these thermal strainers, these poorly insulated housings are rated G or F on the energy label. They will still be able to rent out their accommodation from 1^er January 2025, while the law provides for a ban on the rental of G classified properties on this date. The government, aware of the problem posed by the thermal strainer, wants to point out.

A decree, which will be released for consultation from Wednesday, will give owners some relief. According to our information, houses of less than 40 m², which are currently particularly penalized in the calculation of energy labels (they represent about 30% of energy costs), will be treated better: the current diagnostic energy performance (DPE) calculation method developed will happen These small areas.

That’s enough to raise the rating of thousands of homes currently rated G (out of a total of 2 million rated that way), allowing them to escape the 2025 cut. Owners who have completed a DPE to rent or let when selling. Their residence will not be damaged. Old DPE can be recalculated free of cost with new weighting attached to smaller areas.

Not only that. According to our information, owners of thermal strainers will also have to consider the energy label of their building to continue renting their accommodation, which remains to be clarified. Collective DPE is mandatory from this year for buildings having more than 200 lots. This obligation will gradually extend to all co-ownerships.
