Energy Management of the Public Housing Stock
Social Housing Providers: Turn Your Energy Data into Action Priorities
Diverse property portfolios, scattered data, energy costs, and renovation goals: social housing providers need a reliable overview of their housing stock to identify priority buildings and steer their decarbonization strategy.
With Ubigreen Energy, centralize energy data from your multifamily housing units, boiler rooms, common areas, and commercial buildings. Compare consumption levels, detect anomalies, and link your goals to measurable action plans.
Choose an energy and operational management tool to steer your energy management goals.

social rental housing units in France as of January 1, 2025. The housing stock increased by 0.5% over the past year.
social rental housing units are still rated F or G on the Energy Performance Certificate, representing 5.8% of the social housing stock as of January 1, 2025.
social housing units among the most energy-intensive are targeted by the social housing eco-loan program, which is designed to accelerate energy-efficiency renovations.
homes rated G will no longer meet energy efficiency standards. The same will apply to homes rated F in 2028, and then to those rated E in 2034.
From Energy Mapping of the Park to Renovation Priorities
To effectively manage a social housing portfolio, it is not enough to simply collect data. You must be able to consolidate it, compare it, and turn it into operational decisions.
A structured energy management approach makes it possible to:
- gain a consolidated view of multi-utility consumption;
- compare buildings, residential complexes, or sub-units;
- identify the sites with the highest energy consumption;
- quickly identify deviations;
- prioritize regulatory, maintenance, or renovation actions;
- track savings achieved and the portfolio’s decarbonization trajectory.
The goal is to direct investments toward the most effective measures, while sustainably improving energy efficiency and occupant comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Energy Management for a Social Housing Provider?
Energy management involves collecting, consolidating, and analyzing energy consumption data across a social housing portfolio to identify priority buildings, detect deviations, and implement energy-reduction measures.
It helps better coordinate day-to-day operations, maintenance, renovation, and decarbonization strategies.
How should energy-efficiency renovations be prioritized in public housing?
The first step is to have a reliable overview of the building stock: energy consumption, energy performance certificates, equipment, building types, multi-utility data, and detected anomalies.
This information makes it possible to distinguish between quick fixes—adjustments, maintenance, and optimization of usage—and more structural renovations that require investment.
How can we reduce energy costs without compromising occupants' comfort?
Monitoring energy consumption helps identify anomalies, optimize the settings of shared systems, and pinpoint the equipment that consumes the most energy.
The goal is not only to reduce energy consumption, but also to strike the right balance between energy efficiency, service quality, and occupant comfort.
Are social housing providers subject to energy efficiency standards?
Yes. Energy efficiency standards apply to both private and public housing. Starting in 2025, homes rated G are subject to these standards; homes rated F will be subject to them in 2028, and homes rated E in 2034.
