The main objectives of the new environmental regulations for new buildings, which came into force on January 1, 2022, are to prioritize energy sobriety and decarbonization of energy, while reducing the carbon impact of building construction.
Renewable energies, such as wood, will be favored for heating and the production of domestic hot water. Renewable and local energy (short circuit thanks to the French forests), wood energy is a real carbon sink (the forest captures the carbon present in the atmosphere) .Today, this resource appears to be one of the better alternatives to fossil fuels: its cost is much lower, its renewal is much faster and its impact on the environment is zero.
Another regulatory change to come: from July 1, 2022, it will no longer be possible to replace or install a new oil-fired boiler. Exemptions will exist to overcome certain technical difficulties. However, it will be possible to use an oil-fired boiler as long as the equipment is in working order. In this context, the biomass boiler appears to be an ideal alternative.
Financial aid for wood heating
A set of aids is available to consumers in order to support them in their energy transition and thus reduce the remainder of the charge. In 2021, the replacement of an appliance by a wood or pellet boiler as well as the installation of a wood stove (logs and pellets) will make it possible to benefit from aid. The amounts depend on the taxable income of the household.
If the choice of a high-performance heating device is essential (labeled Green Flame), the smoke evacuation duct is just as important! Their complementarity, with quality fuel, is a guarantee of reliability, safety and better thermal efficiency. Cheminées Poujoulat, the European leader in metal chimney pipes and roof outlets, has always placed energy performance and innovation at the heart of its strategic orientations, as evidenced by its latest solutions:
- AIRWOOD for the recovery and distribution of wood energy throughout the house,
- DUAIS EI for the connection of sealed pellet boilers,
Another spearhead of Cheminées Poujoulat, the aesthetics and personalization of the products are also in the spotlight with the presentation of:
