You’ve probably heard of the tertiary decree<\/strong>. Published in the Journal Officiel on 25 July 2019 following the entry into force of the 2018 ELAN law (Evolution of Housing, Development and the Digital Economy), this text requires owners and tenants of tertiary buildings of more than 1,000 m2 <\/sup>to make significant energy savings in order to move towards energy sobriety by 2050. This is a major challenge for the refrigeration industry. The ultimate aim is to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by at least 60%. <\/p>\n\n For the record, the drafting of such a decree had already been mooted at the time of the Grenelle Environment Forum in 2017. The subject came up again with the ELAN law, which led to the tertiary sector decree<\/a>, also known as the \u00c9co Energie Tertiaire scheme. <\/p>\n\n The aim of this legislation is to reduce the energy consumption of France’s tertiary sector by at least : <\/p>\n\n These percentages are to be measured against a reference year chosen by the tertiary sector players concerned (between 2010 and 2019). It should be noted that 2020 cannot be used because of the health crisis. <\/p>\n\n The \u00c9co Energie Tertiaire scheme applies to owners and occupiers of public and private sector tertiary buildings over 1,000 m2<\/sup>. <\/p>\n\n So the target is wide! To give you an idea, here’s a typology of the buildings targeted: <\/p>\n\nThe tertiary sector decree in a nutshell: what does it cover? <\/h2>\n\n
