Estimated consumption and cost
The median cost estimated by the DPE in Perpignan is €815 a year for a flat (144 kWh of primary energy per m²) and €1,335 for a house (138 kWh/m²). Per unit of floor area, the median cost of a flat is €15 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.
