ANGERS Platform

Background

Le Toit Angevin (LTA) is a social housing company with a housing stock of 7 000 dwellings which are located mainly (92%) in the town of Angers and its close surroundings.

  • 80% of LTA stock is flats including low, medium and high-rise blocks and some 20% of dwellings are individual houses.
  • 44% of LTA dwellings have a community heating system, which is centrally managed by LTA on behalf of tenants. Tenants pay monthly heating charges along with their rent and LTA pays the heating bills to the supplier. Estimates of monthly heating charges are updated each year depending on the energy prices and tenants individual consumption.
  • The other 56% have individual heating systems for which tenants are responsible for paying their bills to the supplier directly.

Energy Management

The company has developed a large program of refurbishment of its housing stock that aims to reinforce building insulation and install equipment to decrease energy and water consumptions.

New European and national regulations relating to energy in housing have also been applied to our new buildings. Certifications such as (Very) High Energy Efficient Performance or Passive House are applied for some of our operations.

These developments on energy savings are a new field of intervention for Le Toit Angevin and their partners (architects, suppliers, technicians...) and each operation of refurbishment and construction, improves our knowledge in these matters.

There is a necessity to balance on the one hand, the additional costs incurred by the new equipment and the new methods used for constructions and on the other hand, the expected energy savings. This balance depends not only on the characteristics of the dwellings but also on the behaviour of their occupants.

For this reason, it is obvious that the efforts made on the building structures and its equipment must be supported by a communication plan with tenants to make them aware of the energy consumption of their own dwelling.
