Question 9383 — logement

France · National Assembly · 19 August 2025

Mme Marietta Karamanli attire l'attention de Mme la ministre auprès du ministre de l'aménagement du territoire et de la décentralisation, chargée du logement, sur la modification du coefficient d'énergie primaire de l'électricité dans l'établissement des diagnostics de performance énergétique (DPE). Ce sont 850 000 logements, classés jusqu'ici, F ou G, qui ne seront plus mal classés en matière de gaspillage énergétique alors même qu'ils n'auront pas fait l'objet de travaux pour en améliorer la qualité ni la performance. En pratique, le facteur de conversion de l'électricité en énergie primaire est passé de 2,3 à 1,9, toute consommation électrique dans un logement comptant dès lors pour environ 17 % de moins en énergie primaire. Par exemple, 100 kWh d'électricité finale représentaient 230 kWh d'énergie primaire (coefficient 2,3) et ne représenteront plus que 190 kWh. Cela est censé corriger une situation qui pénalisait les logements chauffés à l'électricité par rapport à ceux chauffés au gaz ou fioul, alors que le recours à l'énergie nucléaire est plus important en France. Néanmoins, les effets négatifs sont doubles : les propriétaires qui ont fait faire des travaux d'économie d'énergie n'en tirent pas les effets en matière de retour sur investissement, les locataires occupent des logements consommateurs de plus de chauffage et les propriétaires qui ne les ont pas encore faits sont dans l'attente de savoir ce qui va se passer. Pour les locataires, la transmission du DPE devrait être de droit et leur permettre d'obtenir une réduction du loyer sans autre formalité. Elle lui demande donc quelles sont les mesures envisagées pour rendre stable et prévisible la réglementation, maintenir l'effort collectif en vue d'assurer la transition énergétique et limiter la charge des locataires quand se reporte vers eux le prix de l'énergie à payer.

Fighting for the Overlooked Recognition of Groups Operating in Toxic Test Environments in Nevada (FORGOTTEN) Veterans Act of 2025

United States · United States Congress · 9 July 2025

Fighting for the Overlooked Recognition of Groups Operating in Toxic Test Environments in Nevada (FORGOTTEN) Veterans Act of 2025 This bill requires increased Department of Defense (DOD) documentation related to toxic exposures by military personnel and establishes eligibility for certain disability compensation and benefits for individuals who served at the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). DOD must (1) expand the Individual Longitudinal Exposure Record to include specified medical information and document all toxic exposures of members of the Armed Forces, and (2) document in service records whether a member of the Armed Forces served at a location with potential toxic exposure. Members of the Armed Forces and civilian DOD employees who are or have been stationed at specified nuclear facilities must be presumed to have been exposed to toxic substances. DOD must classify the&nbsp;NTTR as a location where contamination occurred and the Department of the Air Force must identify those who have been stationed there since January 27, 1951. The bill establishes that onsite participation on or after January 27, 1951, at&nbsp;NTTR locations where there was a potential of toxic exposure is a radiation-risk activity, therefore providing a presumption of service-connection for specified conditions. The bill also establishes a presumption of toxic exposure for veterans who performed active service at&nbsp;NTTR locations with&nbsp;potential toxic exposure, including airspace above such locations. Additionally, lipomas and tumor related conditions must be considered as service-connected conditions for veterans who served at the NTTR locations.
