Created by EDF and Docapost, Monha is an online service centralizing all information relating to the Housing Information Booklet. A valuable tool for monitoring the evolution of a home and improving its energy efficiency.
This is one of the major innovations brought by the “Climate and Resilience” law. Since 1er January 2023, the housing information book (CIL) is compulsory for all new dwellings and for dwellings undergoing renovation. The CIL is the equivalent of a family book or a health record for a home. If it is legally possible to write it in hard copy, it may still be better to have a digital version. It’s the whole meaning of Monha,, the new service developed jointly by EDF and Docapost.
Monha is a platform for creating a digital housing information book hosted in France in a digital and secure safe. Marketed to real estate professionals (developers, builders, notaries, real estate agents or craftsmen), Monha is a service intended for owners. This exchange interface between real estate professionals and their clients makes it possible to group together and securely store all the information concerning their homes. We can, and this is even strongly recommended, include, depending on the case, a building permit, notarial documents, a declaration of works, surface plans, energy performance diagnostics or even descriptions of the networks of water and electricity.
Monha: sovereign cloud and secure vault
The purpose of the new housing information book is twofold. On the one hand, it must make it possible, thanks to a better knowledge of the different stages of life and the improvements of a dwelling, to achieve better energy efficiency. On the other hand, and it is now a legal obligation, the CIL is intended to be transmitted from owner to owner. On this last point, the interest of making such a document available digitally seems obvious. Thus in the event of the sale of a property, Monha makes it possible to share these documents between the various interlocutors (purchaser, seller and professionals having access to the CIL). And in this context, trust is an important element because there is no question of delivering such data to the first technical service provider!
As such, the technical solution deployed for Monha is rather reassuring since the storage of CIL data is done on a French and sovereign cloud and the technical architecture is based on a secure Digiposte safe. It should be noted that individuals who already have a personal Digiposte digital safe – or wish to open one – can exchange data relating to their accommodation between their safe and the Monha information book.
