Tourist residences: align your energy costs with your seasons
Who pays for the electricity in apartment 214 or the gas for the boiler room? In a tourist residence, energy meters are shared between the operator, the property manager, and the co-owners. Sirenergies maps your contracts, prepares a joint consultation with you, and adjusts your power levels to match your opening periods.
Key industry figures
Furnished rentals and short seasons: energy for tourist residences
A tourist residence brings dozens of equipped apartments and common areas under a single management. Whether open for a few months or year-round, it often pays for energy contracts designed for continuous use.

The energy profile of a tourist residence
Apartments, common areas, and swimming pools share the bill
The situation: a residential building operated like a hotel
A tourist residence brings together furnished units and common areas managed by a single operator, who is often a tenant of the co-owners via a commercial lease. The French market includes approximately 137,600 such apartments (INSEE, 2025), with a unique energy profile:
- Apartments: electric heating and hot water, or supplied by a collective gas boiler room.
- Common areas and swimming pool: reception, laundry, lighting, pool heated by gas or heat pump.
- Seasonality: a resort residence may be closed for months while the subscription runs all year round.
Our role: bringing order to the operator's contracts
We first map out the electricity and gas delivery points: account holder, price, and power capacity. We then prepare a single tender for the operator's contracts, who selects the offer of their choice. Finally, we adjust the TURPE (public electricity network usage tariff) power settings and the ATRD (third-party access to gas distribution networks) option to match the opening periods, followed by D+1 monitoring in Pilott.
Your energy challenges
The 3 energy challenges for tourist residences
Meters with unknown account holders, subscriptions paid during months of closure, and reduction obligations shared between landlords and operators: tourist residences are full of blind spots. Sirenergies addresses them one by one, starting with what is in your contracts and invoices.
Complex tenant-landlord allocation
The distinction between common areas managed by the landlord and private units in a co-ownership property complicates overall energy monitoring for tourist residences.
Clarifying allocation and contracts
Sirenergies helps you clarify the scope of your contracts and your obligations regarding consumption reporting to your tenants.
Tertiary Decree requirements for common areas
The common areas of classified tourist residences may be subject to the Eco Énergie Tertiaire scheme and its annual declaration on OPERAT.
Support for preparing consumption data
Sirenergies helps you consolidate your common area consumption data for your OPERAT declaration.
Fragmented multi-unit contracts
A tourist residence includes numerous units and shared facilities, often managed without a consolidated view of energy contracts.
Procurement and supplier tendering
Sirenergies puts our trusted partner suppliers in competition for your residence's common area contracts.
Contractual and data expertise
Optimizing and managing your tourist residence contracts
From furnished apartments to common areas, and from the boiler room to the pool, Sirenergies monitors the electricity and gas for your residences. Every proposal is based on your opening calendar and the distribution of contracts between the operator, the property manager, and the co-owners.
Contractual and capacity audit
Inventory of electricity and gas delivery points for each residence, including their account holders and expiration dates, verification of power and daily capacity, followed by an annual analysis of excise duties and energy savings certificates (CEE).
Purchasing strategy and competitive bidding
Supplier tendering for all contracts held by the operator, either residence by residence or as a portfolio, with a pricing schedule that takes your opening periods into account.
Distribution optimization (TURPE / ATRD)
Electricity for apartments and common areas : TURPE option and power settings adjusted to the months of operation.
Gas for the boiler room or heated pool : ATRD option and daily capacity reviewed. Procedures with network operators included.
Tariff modeling for seasonality
Energy budget projections for each residence based on its duration of operation, occupancy rate, and various price scenarios. The simulation also quantifies the impact of a heat pump for the pool or photovoltaic self-consumption on both your bills.
Pilott software platform
All your residences on one interface: previous day's consumption by meter, price alerts for electricity and gas, seasonal budget projections, and archived contracts. Data can be exported in CSV format, either on a scheduled basis or via API.
Expert advice dedicated to residences
A dedicated consultant monitors your contracts and deadlines, prepares for each season opening, keeps you informed of regulatory changes, and works with you to build an energy cost per overnight stay that is comparable across all your properties.

Methodology and definitions
What is energy consulting for a tourist residence?
Knowing who pays for what, and then paying the right amount: for a tourist residence, energy consulting starts with an inventory of gas and electricity contracts and their account holders, supports the operator in their purchasing, and verifies excise duties and grid access charges on every invoice. Sirenergies consultants carry out this work and then track each meter in the Pilott platform against overnight stays.
A popular portfolio, a shared obligation
Tourist residences in mainland France recorded 71.9 million overnight stays in 2025 (INSEE, occupancy surveys). Classified as public-access buildings (ERP) and starting at 1,000 m², they fall under the Eco Énergie Tertiaire scheme, an obligation shared by property owners and operators.
The levers used:
- An inventory of delivery points, followed by a single consultation for the operator's contracts.
- Electricity excise duty (formerly TICFE), natural gas excise duty (formerly TICGN), and grid access charges (CTA) checked meter by meter.
- TURPE (public electricity grid usage tariff) power settings and ATRD options aligned with the opening schedule.
How much do your residences pay for energy when closed?
An inventory of your contracts and invoices is enough to calculate the savings, residence by residence. No commitment required.
