DPE: your f or G accommodation could get out of the thermal coland status in 2026

The DPE calculation method will evolve on January 1, 2026, in order to less penalize the heated accommodation with electricity. 850,000 goods will leave the status of thermal coland.

Fabienne does not take off. The apartment they owner, and which it rents, has just been classified G on the Energy performance diagnosis (DPE). This note, the worst, which classifies its property among the worst thermal stores, the prohibition of rental. Yet, “It is not at all unhealthy!” There are double glazing everywhere, the ceiling and the walls are isolated and the electric radiators are modern. Electricity bills of the occupants are also quite normal», Indigates Fabienne.

The diagnostician explained to him why his apartment received such a bad note on the DPE: this is the electric heating which is involved. “The current calculation of the DPE has an important limit, by disadvantage electricity – yet low carbon energy in France – for the benefit of gas or fuel oil”recognizes the Prime Minister, in a statement published this Wednesday, July 9.

Lowering of the electricity conversion coefficient

François Bayrou therefore announces “a significant evolution of the DPE calculation method, which will be effective on January 1, 2026 ”. “The electricity conversion coefficient in the calculation of the DPE, currently set at 2.3, will be lowered to 1.9. This evolution will correct an inequality of treatment so far penalizing the accommodation heated to electricity, including when they have been the subject of renovation work ”details Matignon. A relief for Fabienne because, “With this coefficient of 2.3, the calculated consumption is obviously high with an electric heating, even modern!”.

A relief more broadly for the United, organization bringing together property administrators. At the end of March, she had arrested the government by asking him to “Readjust” the electricity conversion coefficient in the calculation of the DPE, for “Consistent with those of other energies”. “He is shocking and backwards in history that the DPE affects the electricity of a coefficient which penalizes it in relation to gas, even though it undoubtedly constitutes the solution of the future in the fight against climate change ”then tackled her president, Danielle Dubrac.

850,000 less thermal colanders

This change in the mode of calculation of the DPE “Will lead to getting out of the status of energy coland (labels f and g) approximately 850,000 homes mainly heated to electricity, which were excessively penalized by the previous methodology ”underlines Matignon. Perhaps Fabienne’s will be in the lot, which would allow her to be returned to the rental market.
