Energy consumption: enhanced information for tenants and owners

In buildings equipped with remote-readable cost differentiators and in buildings connected to a heating or cooling network, the assessment of the consumption of heat, cold and hot water in the dwelling must be transmitted by the owners:

• every 6 months until 31 December 2021;
• monthly from 1 January 2022;
• quarterly at the request of the tenant or co-owner.

In condominiums, the trustee will have to indicate the state of consumption to the owners who will then have to inform their tenants. The frequency of this information will be specified in a forthcoming decree of the Council of State. A briefing note on housing consumption should be attached to the convening of the annual general meeting.

Finally, any tenant can ask their landlord (or any co-owner to their trustee) to transmit the energy consumption history of the home to an energy supplier.
