Key facts
- 32% of F- or G-rated homes in Lyon whose DPE will still be valid could obtain, from 1 January 2027, a certificate of a better new label (20% in mainland France).
- 43% of homes with a DPE in Lyon were built before 1948, against 32% in mainland France.
- 7.1% of homes with a DPE in Lyon are on district heating (4.1% in mainland France).

Energy and climate ratings
Among 149,068 valid DPEs of homes (excluding generated DPEs) in Lyon, rating C is the most common; 41% reach ratings A to C.
If the homes with a DPE in Lyon had the same mix of building age and type (house, flat) as mainland France, the F+G share would be 11% (+2.2 pts versus the observed figure).
By floor area, the F+G share among homes with a DPE in Lyon ranges from 4.2% (70-99 m²) to 14% (25-39 m²).
For 16% of homes with a DPE in Lyon 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).
12% of homes with a DPE in Lyon 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 (17,886 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
31% of valid DPEs (68,440) — against 31% 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
4,452 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Lyon are rated G, i.e. 3.0% of homes with a DPE (3.1% 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).
8,581 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Lyon are rated F, i.e. 5.8% of homes with a DPE (5.6% 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).
24,691 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Lyon are rated E, i.e. 17% of homes with a DPE (15% 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 12,949 F- or G-rated homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Lyon whose DPE is still valid on that date, whose published class is reproduced and whose scale could be read, 32% 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
Electricity comes first: 51% of homes with a DPE in Lyon rely on it for heating, and 22% have shared heating.
By heating energy, the share of F- or G-rated homes in Lyon ranges from 2.5% for homes heated with wood to 45% for those heated with heating oil; it is 11% with electricity.
In the 2022 census, INSEE counts 40% of main residences mainly heated by electricity in Lyon; among homes with a DPE, the share is 51%.
Of the 10,608 homes with a DPE in Lyon heated by a district network, 71% declare their network's identifier. The main ones: “RÉSEAU DE LYON” (6905C), 52% of connected homes (0.094 kg CO₂/kWh direct, 0.112 life-cycle); “QUARTIER LA DUCHÈRE ET LYON 9E” (6904C), 14% of connected homes (0.073 kg CO₂/kWh direct, 0.097 life-cycle); “ZH CHAMPVERT” (6915C), 2.7% of connected homes (0.207 kg CO₂/kWh direct, 0.233 life-cycle).

The DPE includes a "summer comfort" section. In Lyon, 88% of homes with a DPE fill it in; of these, 32% are rated insufficient. This rate depends on who fills in the section, so it is not compared with other cities.

Estimated consumption and cost
The median cost estimated by the DPE in Lyon is €985 a year for a flat (195 kWh of primary energy per m²) and €1,915 for a house (205 kWh/m²). Per unit of floor area, the median cost of a flat is €20 per m² a year (€18 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.

Works proposed by DPEs

Co-ownerships and collective DPE
The national register of co-ownerships lists 10,838 co-ownerships in Lyon (Q3 2025 file, all construction periods), with 265,514 residential units in total: 66 have more than 200 units used as homes, offices or shops, 1,234 between 51 and 200, and 9,538 with 50 units or fewer. Of those with a known period, 52% were built before 1949 and 6.3% 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 4,942 valid building-level DPEs in Lyon, single-owner buildings included; one building may have several.
308 co-ownerships in Lyon are flagged in the register as having received an Anah grant for owners' associations, and 138 are in a priority urban-policy neighbourhood (QPV).
