A transpartisan bill to combat “otter housing”, supported by seven different political groups, will soon be deposited in the National Assembly, announced this Wednesday the foundation for housing (ex-Father Pierre) in Franceinfo.
This bill, which takes up the recommendations of the Foundation for Housing and will be called “Zero Housing kettle”, aims to combat the overheating of housing. “For three years, the foundation alert on housing that has become uninhabitable for several weeks a year because of the hot weather”, written this Thursday the foundation in a press release, evoking a “Social, ecological and health emergency to which the State must provide rapid and sustainable solutions”.
Making the observation that “42% of French people suffered from heat in their accommodation” During the summer of 2024 and that in France, “1 in 3 accommodation is a kettle”This bill takes up six proposals from the Foundation. First of all, the bill will propose to integrate the overheating of housing in the definition of energy precariousness. It will also offer a ban on electricity cuts throughout the year so that no one finds itself unable to use a fan.
The bill will also force to systematically display the “summer comfort” note of the energy performance diagnosis (DPE) of the housing on real estate ads, to define a renovation calendar of housing kettles for rental from 2030, to modify the voting system into condominiums and the functioning of the opinions of the ABFs (architects of buildings of France) to facilitate the installation of solar protections and Global housing renovations systematically treat summer comfort.
“The Foundation for Housing estimated that an annual increase of one billion euros in public aid dedicated to the simple gestures of summer comfort would make it possible to equip all the housing with air brewers and sunscreen by 2040”, writes the Foundation for Housing. The total cost is estimated at 48 billion euros, partly supported by the State, via aid of which Maprimerénov, explains the foundation.
