The article explains the term 'une passoire thermique', which denotes buildings with poor insulation and low energy efficiency. Such properties, often older ones, cause discomfort due to extreme temperatures and high heating costs. Owners must undergo energy audits that rate properties from A to G; those scoring F or G are classified as passoires thermiques. Recent regulations prohibit renting G-rated properties and require detailed audits for selling F or G-rated homes. Residents may receive state aid for improvements, while future risks extend to E and D ratings.
A passoire thermique refers to a poorly insulated building with low energy efficiency, leading to uncomfortable temperatures and higher energy costs for residents.
The energy efficiency rating of properties is categorized from A to G, with F and G indicating a passoire thermique, significantly impacting living conditions.
As of January 2023, renting properties with a G rating is illegal, while sellers of F or G rated properties must incur additional costs for energy audits.
Government efforts aim to enhance energy efficiency awareness among residents while providing state aid for improving homes classified as passoires thermiques.
