On Thursday, September 22, the OPERAT platform was temporarily unavailable. Probably a victim of its own success – 8 days before the deadline for the first Tertiary Decree declaration – the situation was restored in the following hours.
On the same day, the Ministry of Ecological Transition nevertheless announced in a press release “a tolerance (…) granted until December 31, 2022 to complete its declarations”.
Taxable persons therefore now have until the end of the year to declare:
- Their functional entities (i.e. the owner-tenant “pairs”, associated with the premises they own or occupy), called “EFA”
- The annual consumption of each EFA for the years 2020 and 2021,
- The annual reference consumption for these EFA (not mandatory but recommended in particular for the most energy-intensive buildings). In this regard, the press release specifies that this data may be provided/modified throughout 2023.
Back to basics
As a reminder, the Tertiary Decree, published in July 2019, requires all owners and tenants of tertiary premises of more than 1000 sqm to:
Declare each year on a platform operated by ADEME (OPERAT) all of their energy consumption. Taxable persons have until September 30 of year N+1 to declare consumption for year N. The year 2022 is therefore an exception to the rule.
Reduce energy consumption:
- By 40% by 2030, 50% by 2040 and 60% by 2050, compared to an annual reference consumption (recorded between 2011 and 2019),
- Or to reach a threshold in absolute value (of the order of 110kWh/sqm per year in 2030, for offices for example). This value will be easier to reach for buildings constructed in RT 2012 or RE2020.
A more detailed article on reaching thresholds is available here.
How to act today?
Declaring is good. Being able to consume less is even better!
What’s more, in the current context.
With iQspot, you do both: you have the annual consumption data to declare on OPERAT (by EFA), and above all, you give yourself the means for energy sobriety.
You get results on all your buildings, quickly and without work. How?
iQspot knows precisely and completely the consumption of a building. Thanks to the data collected automatically every hour, and intelligently returned to interested stakeholders, the solution also makes it possible to:
- Hunt down waste, in particular by revealing consumption during periods of vacancy,
optimize and monitor the correct adjustment of technical equipment, continuously (24/7) - Make all stakeholders in the building responsible for reducing it, based on quantified data
- Raise awareness among occupants of “eco-responsible” actions, and maintain their motivation by giving them the quantified results of the actions carried out.
iQspot is THE solution for:
- Complying with the reporting obligations of the Tertiary Decree
- AND, thanks to real-time data monitoring, immediately reducing your energy consumption by 15 to 25%, without investment.
