Decoding the Tertiary Decree

What is the Tertiary Decree?

The Tertiary Decree, which is part of the Eco-energy Tertiary scheme, requires a gradual reduction in energy consumption for tertiary buildings.
Reduction targets:

  •  40% by 2030
  • 50% by 2040
  • 60% by 2050

Buildings concerned: All buildings, parts of buildings or groups of buildings used for tertiary purposes with a surface area of more than 1,000 m².
Requirements: Report energy consumption annually on the ADEME's OPERAT platform.


Why is this regulation?

The Tertiary Decree is part of the national low-carbon strategy (SNBC) and aims to reduce the environmental impact of the real estate sector, which is responsible for 20% of greenhouse gas emissions in France.

  • 31 Decembre 2031 : Second verification of the 2040 targets.

Penalties for not complying:

Why is limiting yourself to compliance counterproductive?

Going beyond compliance: a strategic investment

Simply complying with legal requirements without a comprehensive approach can result in:

  • Limited savings.
  • A lack of long-term vision.
  • An inability to anticipate regulatory changes.

To maximise the impact of your investments, consider:

  • The implementation of sustainable building management solutions.
  • Intelligent energy management to optimise your results.
  • A comprehensive strategy that aligns the Tertiary Decree with the BACS Decree.
