Key facts
- 39% of F- or G-rated homes in Marseille whose DPE will still be valid could obtain, from 1 January 2027, a certificate of a better new label (20% in mainland France).
- 26% of homes with a DPE in Marseille report air conditioning, against 9.2% in mainland France.
- 4.3% of homes with a DPE in Marseille are rated F or G, against 12% in mainland France — and the gap persists at comparable building age and type (4.5%).
- Electricity heats 63% of homes with a DPE in Marseille, against 50% in mainland France.
Energy and climate ratings
Among 172,409 valid DPEs of homes (excluding generated DPEs) in Marseille, rating C is the most common; 55% reach ratings A to C.
If the homes with a DPE in Marseille had the same mix of building age and type (house, flat) as mainland France, the F+G share would be 4.5% (+0.2 pt versus the observed figure).
Small homes are the most often poorly rated in Marseille: 7.0% of assessed homes under 25 m² are rated F or G, against 2.4% for those of 70-99 m².
For 15% of homes with a DPE in Marseille 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 Marseille 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 (24,212 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
29% of valid DPEs (68,981) — against 27% 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
1,540 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Marseille are rated G, i.e. 0.9% of homes with a DPE (0.8% 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).
5,846 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Marseille are rated F, i.e. 3.4% of homes with a DPE (3.1% 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).
20,539 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Marseille are rated E, i.e. 12% of homes with a DPE (10% 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 7,348 F- or G-rated homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Marseille whose DPE is still valid on that date, whose published class is reproduced and whose scale could be read, 39% 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: 63% of homes with a DPE in Marseille rely on it for heating, and 20% have shared heating.

The DPE includes a "summer comfort" section. In Marseille, 87% of homes with a DPE fill it in; of these, 30% 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 Marseille is €845 a year for a flat (165 kWh of primary energy per m²) and €1,495 for a house (173 kWh/m²). Per unit of floor area, the median cost of a flat is €17 per m² a year (€16 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 19,320 co-ownerships in Marseille (Q3 2025 file, all construction periods), with 352,230 residential units in total: 178 have more than 200 units used as homes, offices or shops, 1,420 between 51 and 200, and 17,722 with 50 units or fewer. Of those with a known period, 46% were built before 1949 and 4.7% 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 6,804 valid building-level DPEs in Marseille, single-owner buildings included; one building may have several.
781 co-ownerships in Marseille are flagged in the register as having received an Anah grant for owners' associations, and 3,934 are in a priority urban-policy neighbourhood (QPV).
