Initial audit

Energy audit for houses and apartments

The initial energy audit is the starting point for unlocking MaPrimeRénov' and the French éco-prêt. It applies to houses and apartments, in individual or collective housing, and provides the technical diagnosis that underpins renovation aid.

An initial audit to unlock grants and loans

MaPrimeRénov' and the éco-prêt require an initial energy audit before work begins. The document describes the property's current state, identifies heat-loss points and proposes the priority works needed to meet performance targets.

  • Complete survey of the building fabric, windows, ventilation and systems
  • Heat-loss breakdown by element
  • Identification of eligible and priority works
  • Estimated energy and comfort gains
  • Document compliant with MPR and éco-prêt requirements

Why start with an audit

Insulating without addressing ventilation, replacing a boiler before insulation, or oversizing a heat pump is expensive and often uncomfortable. This matters especially for the older stone and rendered houses common in Western France.

A report you can use for applications

The report is written to be understood by an owner, and can be handed to aid bodies and builders so that every quotation is priced against the same technical brief.

Frequently asked questions

Is the initial audit required for MaPrimeRénov'?

Yes, MaPrimeRénov' requires an initial energy audit to assess the property's condition and define eligible works. The French éco-prêt follows the same logic.

Does the audit apply to apartments?

Yes, the initial audit also applies to apartments, whether in a detached house or a collective building. The scope of study is adapted to the situation.

How does an on-site assessment work?

We survey the property, access the loft and technical spaces where possible, take photographs and discuss your usage and energy bills. Access to every room and to the heating equipment is needed.
