Housing DPE

State of the diagnosed housing stock and electrification of the main heating energy, class by class and region by region.

Dwellings that have undergone a DPE (sale, rental, new construction) — not the entire French housing stock, likely biased toward dwellings being sold or rented.

Heating energy by DPE class

Composition of the main heating energy for each class (A to G): the most efficient dwellings are markedly more electric, while energy-inefficient dwellings concentrate fuel oil and gas.
