In short. Ventilation+ covers companies installing all types of mechanical ventilation systems in individual housing in France.
Definition: As of October 2026, Ventilation+ is Qualit'EnR's qualification for companies installing all types of mechanical ventilation systems in individual housing in France. The company must have the resources to perform the installation work itself.
Key facts
- Qualit'EnR's August 2026 qualification guide lists mechanical ventilation as the activity covered by Ventilation+.
- The September 2026 usage rules limit the scope to individual housing in France.
- France Rénov's professional directory guidance calls for checking that a professional's qualification corresponds to the planned work.
How broadly does the equipment scope extend?
Section 7.12.1 of Qualit'EnR's usage rules covers all types of mechanical ventilation systems. The company must have technical, human and financial resources to install them in accordance with professional practice.
The qualification guide's activity table gives heating equipment separate entries: Chauffage+ covers condensing and micro-cogeneration boilers, while Ventilation+ has its own mechanical ventilation entry.
What evidence sits behind the qualification?
Qualit'EnR's guide describes a four-year qualification cycle with annual monitoring. Its criteria include a validated technical referent and equipment and tools held internally for installing the relevant system.
For installation experience, the guide asks for two references less than 48 months old, each supported by a detailed quotation, detailed invoice and a client-signed completion statement. At the initial application, a company without these references can receive a probationary qualification for up to 24 months while obtaining them.
How can a company's qualification be checked?
France Rénov's work-domain lookup accepts a company name or a SIREN or SIRET business identifier. It also asks for the date on which qualification is checked, giving the invoice date as an example.
Qualit'EnR's usage rules give this qualification-number format, with the company's identifier replacing the placeholder:
VPLUS / [identifiant de l’entreprise]
The same rules require qualification numbers on the qualified company's quotations and invoices.
