Reducing energy consumption in social housing : Lessons from a case study
The need to rethink our energy consumption patterns and find solutions that are economical andadaptable to all social contexts has never been more important. The residential sector accountsfor 29% of overall energy consumption in France, and it appears that the social stock is very high(17%), with a stock marked by installations that are older than average and therefore more energyconsuming.In addition, social housing concerns a part of the population whose primary concernsare housing problems, employment or social inclusion, and and very rarely have the time or themeans to deal with environmental issues. This study aims to analyse the case of a French sociallandlord and the measures put in place to reduce energy consumption. It turns out that combininglimited economic resources and low-energy solutions for buildings is not an easy task, but crucial,given that expenditures on energy consumption is the second largest source of expenditurefor Social Landlords after wage costs. It seems that the improvement solutions lie in collectivetechnology choices, comprehensive renovation measures, fleet-wide policies and personalized consumptionmonitoring in each building to include tenants as closely as possible to energy issues.
