What is an eco-house?
There are various ways of conceiving an eco-house. The primary principle lies on constructing and arranging in an environment-friendly way, which means:
 laying the stress on a natural and reinforced isolation in order to save energy.
 choosing natural material such as wood, straw, clay, preferably of local stock/origin.
 applying a system of eco-heating, such as solar panels, heat pump etc.
 arrange the building in line with a bioclimatic logic (rooms’ orientations, protection against wind and sun by mans of trees and a protruding tile roof etc.)

– We are going to finalize the construction of ecological house.
