Abstract

To increase the energetic performance of housing, the French state and the professional organizations of the building sector decided to stimulate the market of energy efficiency refurbishment, which required to raise craftsmen's technical skills. For this reason, they conjointly created in 2013 a training curricula for craftsmen, called FEEBat, and a related certification, the RGE label (an eco-label attributed to craftsmen or companies). However, since then the energy efficiency refurbishment market hasn't take off. In this paper, we study the tensions between on the one hand training and certification processes and, on the other hand, the attempt to reform the sector in order to explain the observed stagnation.
