INTRODUCTION
The building sector (residential, commercial, or industrial), which is one of the largest consumers of thermal energy, must commit to energy efficiency to enable France to reduce its fossil fuel consumption by 30% by 2030.
This study aims to demonstrate that passive energy buildings and/or positive energy buildings are emerging as the standards of the future to meet this challenge. To illustrate this, this practical guide is organized into the following sections:
BEPOS or BEPAS certification?
What are the principles of passive construction?
How can existing buildings be retrofitted?
Does a passive building need to be heated, and if so, with what energy?
What about certification?
Finally, the study concludes with a focus on the incentives and misconceptions that must be overcome to help reduce fossil fuel consumption.
