The DPE (diagnostic de performance énergétique) is the French energy performance certificate. It gives a dwelling an energy label and a climate label and is required when selling or letting.
Two DPEs can differ when the survey is rushed. We document every assumption — materials, thicknesses, dates of past works, systems actually installed — using the evidence available on site.
Buyers and tenants see the label first, and low-rated dwellings face rental restrictions. We explain what drives your grade and what would realistically move it.
It is the official energy performance certificate for a French property, showing an energy rating from A to G and a separate greenhouse-gas rating, based on a standardised calculation.
A DPE has a validity period set by French regulations; the expiry date is stated on the certificate we issue.
