The building calls for a truly ambitious, human, affordable and sustainable RE2020

In the absence of sufficiently successful consultation, many contradictory analyzes are circulating and serious gray areas remain. Genuine technical consultation must begin, in order to achieve a RE2020 which reconciles a more intense fight against the greenhouse effect, innovation, jobs and high-performance, pleasant, sober and economically accessible living spaces.

The climate emergency must be treated with responsibility, avoiding dogmatisms and expedients that are satisfactory in the short term, but ineffective in the long term, while the French regulations (RT 2012) are already proving to be the most ambitious in Europe and, without doubt, , of the world.

With the proposed project, it is certain that the user will continue to experience summer discomfort; it is certain that many operations will be condemned by the carbon weight of the infrastructures imposed by the PLUs and that the same will apply to the operations planned on land with soil or orientation constraints; it is also certain that the use of gas or high-performance electric heaters will be over, even as a supplement.

In addition, the model and the thresholds adopted risk excluding in the short term entire production sectors, whether it be masonry or steel construction.

Finally, a significant additional cost is certain, to such an extent that the impact study presented by the administration confirms the absence of return on investment over fifty years. How can households and other contractors withstand such a shock? Can we really believe that the public power will set up a financial support system up to the task?

While the current rate of construction is not sufficient to meet housing needs, the eight organizations cannot subscribe to the idea that a lasting fall to 300.000 housing units started annually under the effect of these constraints is a possible response to the problem. climate emergency.

The eight organizations call for a truly ambitious, humane, affordable and sustainable RE2020. A RE2020 which places the occupant at the heart of the issues and which meets the support of the players because it does not force them into closed models. An RE2020 which does not slow down new production, does not exclude low-income households, does not destroy jobs, does not sacrifice sectors and does not discourage innovation in the construction sector.
