F - Improve knowledge of the wood-burning appliance fleet

- Voluntary declaration of its various heating systems (main and auxiliary): the obligation to declare the use of a wood-burning appliance can make it possible to know the fleet of appliances. There should be a strong obligation to allow this declaration. - Improve the INSEE questionnaire by integrating auxiliary heating: the INSEE (statistical institute) carries out a questionnaire during the population census. Today, only the main heating of the dwelling is mentioned, which is often ... more

F - Structure an inter-professional network of vendors, installers and chimney sweeps

- Structure an inter-professional network to allow exchanges between the professions of wood producer, producer of heating appliances, installer and chimney sweeper: training and transmission of good practices, scientific knowledge, regulations and available aids. - Develop existing professional certifications without adding too many constraints or putting them in place if necessary: professionals must have a certification that guarantees their trainin ... more

F - Emission Controls

Convince of the need to make controls (elected a priori reluctant). Mandatory periodic verification of the proper functioning of the facility (including fuel). Develop the technical protocol and regulatory process to make monitoring mandatory, define the organizational and financial framework (who does, who supervises, who pays and how much).

F - Thinking about energy optimisation instead only looking on air quality

The existing air-wood funds and the aid in general for wood heating generally incorporate only the "air quality" dimension. The “energy” approach is not necessarily coupled with the approach whereas efforts must be beneficial in both cases. We often talk about renewing our inefficient heating system, not to mention energy retrofits. Have a complete audit of the housing, potential assistance to which the household can claim, and propose, according to the diagnosis, ... more

F - Mandatory reporting system

There needs to be a mandatory reporting system for your wood-burning appliance. This reporting system could be supplemented by chimney sweeps during their intervention. Communal appliances (wood-fired boilers of apartment buildings) must also be taken into account.

F - Inventory geographic areas with high stakes in terms of fine particulate matter concentrations and/or b(a)p and areas with low stakes -respecting the WHO guide values- in order to adapt the regulation of wood heating to the local context.

To be more effective, regulation should be very strict in areas with fine particulate matter concentrations above the WHO guide values and/or high b(a)p from biomass combustion. This adaptation of the regulations would make it possible to be more effective in areas wi ... more
