Energy and climate ratings
Among 86,946 valid DPEs of homes (excluding generated DPEs) in Bordeaux, rating C is the most common; 49% reach ratings A to C.
If the homes with a DPE in Bordeaux had the same mix of building age and type (house, flat) as mainland France, the F+G share would be 5.8% (-1.2 pt versus the observed figure).
By floor area, the F+G share among homes with a DPE in Bordeaux ranges from 4.1% (100 m² and over) to 11% (25-39 m²).
For 14% of homes with a DPE in Bordeaux whose published class is reproduced, the climate rating (greenhouse-gas emissions) sets the DPE class: the final rating is the worse of the two (18% in mainland France).
14% of homes with a DPE in Bordeaux whose published class is reproduced would change rating with 5 kWh/m²/year of consumption, or 1 kg CO₂/m²/year of emissions, more or less: they sit on a class boundary (11,894 homes; 12% in mainland France). For them, a small measurement gap or a minor work can move the letter.

DPEs generated from the building’s DPE
27% of valid DPEs (32,661) — against 25% in the département and 29% in mainland France — were produced from the building's DPE: their rating was not measured for the flat itself. They are shown separately: their ratings are not mixed into the figures above.

G, F and E ratings: the decent-housing timetable
1,887 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Bordeaux are rated G, i.e. 2.2% of homes with a DPE (1.5% in the département, 4.4% in mainland France). Since 1 January 2025, a G-rated home no longer meets the energy performance level of decent housing (Law 89-462, s. 6).
4,152 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Bordeaux are rated F, i.e. 4.8% of homes with a DPE (3.9% in the département, 7.2% in mainland France). From 1 January 2028, rating F will no longer meet the energy performance level of decent housing (Law 89-462, s. 6).
12,404 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Bordeaux are rated E, i.e. 14% of homes with a DPE (11% in the département, 17% in mainland France). From 1 January 2034, rating E will no longer meet the energy performance level of decent housing (Law 89-462, s. 6).
On 1 January 2027, the electricity primary-energy conversion factor drops from 1.9 to 1.7 (order of 19 August 2026). Among the 5,990 F- or G-rated homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Bordeaux whose DPE is still valid on that date, whose published class is reproduced and whose scale could be read, 37% could obtain a certificate of a new rating, at least one class better, downloadable from ADEME's DPE-Audit Observatory. The original DPE remains valid until it expires.

Estimated consumption and cost
The median cost estimated by the DPE in Bordeaux is €825 a year for a flat (185 kWh of primary energy per m²) and €1,615 for a house (180 kWh/m²). Per unit of floor area, the median cost of a flat is €19 per m² a year (€17 in the département, €19 in mainland France). This cost is conventional: it assumes standard use and the energy prices in force when each DPE was issued, not a household's actual bill.

Co-ownerships and collective DPE
The national register of co-ownerships lists 8,218 co-ownerships in Bordeaux (Q3 2025 file, all construction periods), with 106,588 residential units in total: 22 have more than 200 units used as homes, offices or shops, 437 between 51 and 200, and 7,759 with 50 units or fewer. Of those with a known period, 59% were built before 1949 and 7.8% after 2010.
The collective DPE covers multi-dwelling residential buildings whose building permit application was filed before 1 January 2013, on a timetable set by the number of units (rule and references in the method). ADEME's database holds 3,758 valid building-level DPEs in Bordeaux, single-owner buildings included; one building may have several.
111 co-ownerships in Bordeaux are flagged in the register as having received an Anah grant for owners' associations, and 233 are in a priority urban-policy neighbourhood (QPV).
