Short definition

France's Tertiary Sector Decree mandating progressive office energy reductions.

Full definition

Mandates 40% energy reduction by 2030, 50% by 2040, 60% by 2050 (versus a 2010 baseline) for buildings over 1,000 sqm. Non-compliant assets face a real and rising market risk.

Why this matters for Class A leasing

Décret tertiaire is part of the tax / regulatory vocabulary that institutional Class A occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across EU markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks the EU definition alongside the global standard so cross-border occupiers can translate quickly.
