French term or phrase: THPE label
Hi all
Anyone know of the equivalent for this label 'très haute performance energetique'? the problem for me is that in English the idea is expressed the other way round ' low consumption' etc so this has got me stumped.
TIA

Explanation:
This is a specific standard in France, so there is no way you can substitute it with an English equivalent, because there is no exact one.

"Très Hautes Performances Energétiques –THPE 2005
In order to achieve this standard then the global level of energy consumption must be at least 20% lower than RT2005. This would give an energy rating of 90-150 KwH/m2 per year depending on the geographic location and altitude of the property.
Once again there is a renewal energy standard with the THPE, with a mimumum of 30% of energy consumption from renewables.
Construction of a property to the THPE standard grants a right to increase the plot density (coefficient d'occupation des sols) by 20%."
