“Enerlis’ first back-to-school university, social landlords on the front line of the energy transition”, the day of webinars organized by Enerlis was held on September 22, 2020.
Enerlis mobilized its network and its teams around an event of reflection and debate on the current news, namely economic recovery and the energy transition.
In total, 22 speakers exchanged and gave their point of view around 4 major themes:
New ways of contracting, financing, renewable energies and the latest innovations serving social landlords.
REPORT
INTRODUCTION AND WORKSHOP 1:
To accelerate, we must globalize: new ways of contracting and commitment to results.
Aurélie Gaudillère, president of the Enerlis group, introduced this day by highlighting “the essential role” of social landlords in the green recovery and estimated that “social housing ticks all the boxes of the 3 foundations of the recovery plan: ecology – competitiveness – solidarity”.
Yves Laffoucrière, President of the BIM 2022 plan, and Didier Poussou, Director General of ESH, supported these remarks by evoking the pivotal moment in which we find ourselves: social landlords, who have always been among the first mobilized and active actors in the energy transition, have the cards in hand to break down barriers and achieve the objective of carbon neutrality in 2050. Digital transformation, maturity in the implementation of renewable energies, the new flexibility of the public procurement code and the financing is an asset to finalize the renovations of the 21% of social housing with EFG labels and only 4% with F and G, otherwise known as thermal sieves.
The subject of this first workshop is to discuss the implementation of the “new features” of the public procurement code which make it possible to globalize.
Indeed, to be competitive, social landlords must integrate legislative developments and new methods of contracting such as global contracts, for the renovation of their assets.
“ Non-structural renovations can be carried out quickly with global energy optimization contracts which take into account a list of non-structural works with results objectives”, indicates François Weinzaeplen , Est Enerlis business manager. Citing the example of a rehabilitation operation, François Weinzaeplen details the list of works which made it possible to go from a G to D label in 2 months: “We treated the insulation, the attic, replaced the individual boilers with high energy performance boilers, replaced the lighting in common areas with LEDs and replaced the VMC boxes”.
Alongside François, Cyril Coupé , doctor of public law and specialist in public procurement, indicates that “in the context of competitive bidding, it is necessary to identify actions to be implemented, which are the subject of a price, add a maintenance and/or operation component which will be integrated over time, where we set objectives to be achieved such as raising the energy label and if this is not respected, sanctioning”. According to him “ what is important, when the equipment is installed collectively in particular, is to measure the indicators, namely what is taken into account with the operation and maintenance action, which makes it possible to measure performance over time .
For Joel Le Goff , general manager of Agen Habitat and president of Cobaty, the coordination companies “would be an opportunity to bounce back from globalization” in order to benefit from having a global heritage analysis , unfortunately the coordination companies have a strong orientation on financial sustainability and have not sufficiently entered into energy performance.
Jean-Pierre Hue , former technical director of ICF Habitat, also mentions that to be able to implement effective actions, it is essential to know the heritage well: certainly the Strategic Heritage Plans have been obligatory for several years but efforts must be stepped up. made on this stage to better segment and better prioritize the implementation of the work . He points out that these plans must be consulted with the tenants, thus creating a virtuous relationship and an increase in the efficiency of the packages of work carried out.
Laure Chrétien , Residential Business Manager at Enerlis, for her part, is the spokesperson for the pavilions, which represent a significant part of the assets of social landlords and which are often more difficult to deal with, because with a cost of work at m1 very high. It explains how the experience that Enerlis has acquired and the scenarios studied and implemented allow us to put forward additional financing solutions, beyond the classic CEE, Eco-loans, 3rd line of receipt, etc.; as well as globalized solutions, on which we can commit to the results .
Finally, Benjamin Brullon , Managing Director of Manergy, supports the idea that the global performance market is a new effective tool for going faster, which should however be used wisely. The calibration of actions with its AMO is precisely the guarantee of making the right request to set the right performance objective for a given budget .
With nearly 300 participants, the webinar on Tuesday September 22, 2020 was a real success due to its usefulness, thanks to the quality of the speakers and the discussions with all the elected officials, managers and experts involved.
Once again a big thank you to them for their interventions.
