Tertiary Buildings, the new Regulations in France
Tertiary Sector: How to Respond to the new Building Renovation regulations?
These buildings represent only a quarter of the existing building stock. However, they are currently responsible for one third of final energy consumption and also one third of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the real estate sector.
Who is Affected by this Decree?
Are concerned building owners or lessees, in the private or public sector, exercising a tertiary activity with a floor area greater than or equal to 1000 m² such as:
|

Goals
The objectives to be achieved are staggered and correspond to a reduction in final energy consumption compared to a reference year (between 2010 and 2018), taking into account climatic variations.
| -40% | -50% | -60% |
| in 2030 | in 2040 | in 2050 |
Monitoring and Sanctioning Methods
Monitoring of the implementation of the regulations will be carried out via a platform managed by ADEME.
From 2021, each owner or tenant will have to report annually their energy consumption data for the previous year on this IT platform.
In the event that the owner or the tenant doesn’t report consumption data, a formal notice to provide these data within 3 months will be issued. After 3 months’ time period, a document will be published on the government website listing the unanswered formal notices.
If the owner or the lessee does not respect his obligations to reduce consumption and he does not justify his shortcomings, the sanctions can go up to an administrative fine of €1,500 for individuals and €7,500 for people moral.
