The objective is to encourage the renovation of the least energy-efficient homes. Homes classified as F or G must reach at least a D label after renovation, while those classified as E must reach at least a C label. This new system aims to accelerate the renovation of 'energy-leaking' properties.
The scheme primarily relies on a renovation loan. Two options are available: the Rénopack, a zero-interest loan with a repayment reduction, for households with taxable income below or equal to €67,100; and the Rénoprêt, a loan with advantageous interest rates for taxable incomes between €67,100.01 and €122,800, as well as for landlords and co-ownership associations.
To simplify procedures, regional aid will be calculated globally for all eligible works (roof, insulation, windows, heating, etc.). The maximum loan amount is increased to €75,000 for a single-family home, to better cover the actual cost of ambitious energy renovations.
An energy audit is a mandatory step before starting work. It helps identify priority renovations and optimize long-term investments. For more information, citizens can consult the Wallonia housing portal, the En'Hestia website, the Société Wallonne du Crédit Social, or the Fond du Logement. The City of Gembloux also provides contact details for any questions.
