RT 2012: publication in the Official Journal
This new thermal regulation must apply, from from October 28, 2011, to new public and tertiary buildings (shops and offices) as well as priority areas for urban renewal. The obligation for new dwellings will only apply from January 1, 2013.
They were expected in November, but the first texts relating to the 2012 Thermal Regulation were published on Wednesday October 27 in the Official Journal. The decree of October 26, 2010 "relating to the thermal characteristics and energy performance requirements of new buildings and new parts of buildings" and decree 2010-1269 of October 26, 2010, thus truly launch the major operation of global control of the energy consumption forecast by the Grenelle de l'Environnement.
These requirements, specifies the decree, apply:
- to all building permits deposited more than a year after the date of publication of the decree - ie from October 28, 2011 - for new buildings for office or educational use, childcare establishments and buildings for residential use constructed in the ANRU zone;
- to all building permits filed from January 1, 2013 for other new buildings for residential use.
A forthcoming decree is to establish the RT 2012 calculation engine, set up by CSTB and the "applicators" working group, made up of 40 thermal design offices and technical centers.
