How to request a subsidy for an energy audit

Property owners can request a subsidy to carry out an energy audit of their building.

The aim of the subsidy is to encourage owners to act in advance of the legal obligation to conduct an energy audit: the earlier the audit is completed, the higher the amount of subsidy that will be awarded.

The date of the audit invoice will be used to establish the rate of reimbursement, which depends both on the year in which the audit is carried out and the building’s date of completion, according to the table below:

The amount of the grant is capped depending on the percentage reimbursed:
