Key facts
- 4.9% of homes with a DPE in Toulouse are rated F or G, against 12% in mainland France — and the gap persists at comparable building age and type (7.3%).
- 20% of homes with a DPE in Toulouse were built before 1948, against 32% in mainland France.
- 25% of F- or G-rated homes in Toulouse whose DPE will still be valid could obtain, from 1 January 2027, a certificate of a better new label (20% in mainland France).
Energy and climate ratings
Among 147,598 valid DPEs of homes (excluding generated DPEs) in Toulouse, rating C is the most common; 59% reach ratings A to C.
If the homes with a DPE in Toulouse had the same mix of building age and type (house, flat) as mainland France, the F+G share would be 7.3% (+2.4 pts versus the observed figure).
Small homes are the most often poorly rated in Toulouse: 7.4% of assessed homes under 25 m² are rated F or G, against 3.4% for those of 40-69 m².
For 21% of homes with a DPE in Toulouse 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 Toulouse 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 (20,479 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
28% of valid DPEs (56,012) — against 22% 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
1,783 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Toulouse are rated G, i.e. 1.2% of homes with a DPE (1.4% 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).
5,447 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Toulouse are rated F, i.e. 3.7% of homes with a DPE (3.4% 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).
16,561 homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Toulouse are rated E, i.e. 11% of homes with a DPE (9.4% 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 7,214 F- or G-rated homes with a DPE (excluding generated DPEs) in Toulouse whose DPE is still valid on that date, whose published class is reproduced and whose scale could be read, 25% 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 Toulouse is €745 a year for a flat (160 kWh of primary energy per m²) and €1,695 for a house (185 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.

Median price in Toulouse over 2021-2025 sales: €3,293 per m² for a flat (36,057 sales), €3,814 for a house (6,107 sales) — DVF statistics (Etalab).
In our "DPE discount city by city" study (house sales matched to their DPE), F- or G-rated houses in Toulouse sold for 13% more per m² than D-rated houses: a raw comparison, in which location and age weigh more than the rating.
Estimated advertised rent in Toulouse, charges included, all DPE ratings combined: €13.98 per m² per month for a flat (prediction interval €11.17 to €17.51), €12.86 per m² per month for a house (2025 rent map).
Co-ownerships and collective DPE
The national register of co-ownerships lists 9,441 co-ownerships in Toulouse (Q3 2025 file, all construction periods), with 242,617 residential units in total: 80 have more than 200 units used as homes, offices or shops, 1,252 between 51 and 200, and 8,109 with 50 units or fewer. Of those with a known period, 25% were built before 1949 and 16% 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 6,435 valid building-level DPEs in Toulouse, single-owner buildings included; one building may have several.
82 co-ownerships in Toulouse are flagged in the register as having received an Anah grant for owners' associations, and 317 are in a priority urban-policy neighbourhood (QPV).
