Housing Minister Vincent Jeanbrun addressed the issue of high temperatures in homes, noting that the problem affects properties even those with top-rated energy efficiency certifications. The government is currently working on a reform of the diagnostic de performance énergétique (DPE) certificates, which are required for property sales or long-term rentals. The goal is to introduce a DPE score that reflects summer comfort, or *confort d’été*, in the coming months.
