The Walloon Region has set an ambitious trajectory for the building sector, targeting an EPC label A by 2050. The goal is to progressively eliminate the most energy-intensive homes, classified as F and G, by 2035, with gradual strengthening of minimum standards until 2050.
In Tintigny, out of 777 residential buildings with an EPC certificate, 164 are classified as G, 117 as F, and 116 as E. These figures, from residential EPC certificates as of June 2026, only include certified dwellings.
Since October 1st, a new support scheme for energy renovation has come into effect. It primarily targets homes with an EPC label of G or F, which must reach at least a D label after renovation, and those with an E label, aiming for at least a C.
This support comes in the form of two zero-interest loans, potentially up to €75,000 for a single-family home. The Rénopack is available based on income and excludes multi-property owners and households in category C4. The Rénoprêt offers variable terms depending on the work and applicant profile, and is accessible to landlords, co-ownership associations, and households in category C4.
A home audit is an essential step before any application. It helps determine the dwelling's EPC label, identify necessary works (safety, habitability, energy performance), and organize the project steps. The audit cost can be financed within the loan, provided the report was completed or updated no more than one year prior to the application.
To start, it is advisable to have an audit performed or updated, define priority works with the auditor, and then seek assistance from the Guichets Énergie Wallonie for loan selection and application process.
The commune's environment and ecological transition service, along with the Climate-Energy Plan coordinator, work daily to achieve these objectives. This includes renovation projects and renewable energy production on municipal buildings, citizen support, partnerships, and adapting the territory to climate challenges. More information is available on the municipality's new website and in the updated Climate-Energy Plan.
