Key facts
- Natural gas heats 62% of homes with a DPE in Colombes, against 36% in mainland France.
- 40% of homes with a DPE in Colombes have shared (collective) heating (15% in mainland France).

Energy and climate ratings
Among 12,890 valid DPEs of homes (excluding generated DPEs) in Colombes, rating C is the most common; 29% reach ratings A to C.
If the homes with a DPE in Colombes had the same mix of building age and type (house, flat) as mainland France, the F+G share would be 22% (-4.5 pts versus the observed figure).
By floor area, the F+G share among homes with a DPE in Colombes ranges from 20% (70-99 m²) to 35% (25-39 m²).
For 25% of homes with a DPE in Colombes 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).
11% of homes with a DPE in Colombes 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 (1,424 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
32% of valid DPEs (6,082) — against 46% 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
1,560 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Colombes are rated G, i.e. 12% of homes with a DPE (7.2% 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).
1,891 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Colombes are rated F, i.e. 15% of homes with a DPE (10% 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).
2,807 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Colombes are rated E, i.e. 22% of homes with a DPE (22% 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 3,438 F- or G-rated homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Colombes whose DPE is still valid on that date, whose published class is reproduced and whose scale could be read, 12% 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.
Heating and hot water
Natural gas comes first: 62% of homes with a DPE in Colombes rely on it for heating, and 40% have shared heating.
By heating energy, the share of F- or G-rated homes in Colombes ranges from 4.6% for homes heated by district heating to 67% for those heated with heating oil; it is 25% with electricity.
In the 2022 census, INSEE counts 23% of main residences mainly heated by electricity in Colombes; among homes with a DPE, the share is 29%.
Of the 411 homes with a DPE in Colombes heated by a district network, 80% declare their network's identifier. The main ones: “RÉSEAU DE LA ZAC DE LA MARINE” (9233C), 43% of connected homes (0.121 kg CO₂/kWh direct, 0.146 life-cycle). CO₂ contents set by the French order of 30 March 2026, applicable since 25 May 2026: an older DPE may have used other values.

Estimated consumption and cost
The median cost estimated by the DPE in Colombes is €945 a year for a flat (238 kWh of primary energy per m²) and €2,305 for a house (268 kWh/m²). Per unit of floor area, the median cost of a flat is €23 per m² a year (€21 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.

Of those with a known period, 43% were built before 1949 and 11% 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).
