Such audits (energiescans) already exist in Flanders but they are reserved for the most vulnerable populations. For example, tenants of social housing or those whose monthly rent does not exceed, depending on the locality, 554 or 604 euros. This is totally insufficient, considers the CD&V Robrecht Bothuyne, especially since the coronavirus has halved the number of them. In 2019, before the pandemic spread, there were just over 20,000. Two years later, the number of scans has fallen below 11,000 while the Ukrainian conflict has revived our energy dependence and a simple audit can save around 10%. “It is more than a simple opinion. It is also an immediate action which can bring, with minimal adaptations, a welcome saving of around 10%”, comments the deputy who asks that this be done, via the door-to-door if necessary, to a free audit of all dwellings in Flanders over 20 years old.
