Reduce your energy bills, feel good at home and protect your environment.

Joining the problem of the sustainable development, a "green" house has ecological, economic and social implications. This article deals about the collective profits of these responsible houses.

                                                      

A sustainable house to limit the global warming

The energy improvement of the housing environment is essential in the struggle against the global warming. In France, the buildings represent 46 % of the consummate energy. Two thirds of this housing were built before 1975 and consume on average almost four times more that housing built after 2000. Among the 450 000 housing sold every year, the objective to set up renovation work directed on the insulation, the mode of heating, the two points of the sustainable house. It is these particular efforts which will produce the collective profits on the horizon 2020-2050.

A sustainable house to protect the immediate environment

Every particular act is an indispensable stone of the eco-responsible building for everybody. The use of materials easy to recycle limits the costs for the community and the risks of local pollution. As an example, we can quote insulations on vegetable base or of animal origin, ecological building materials… 

The use of the renewable energies to warm, to light, acts on the environmental conservation. The firewood, the geothermal science, the photovoltaic and thermal solar energy or the wind energy are eco-energy solutions.

Besides, the use of regional materials encourages the local economy reduces the impact to CO2 emissions affect to the transport.

A sustainable house to save

A “green” house participates obviously in the development of the sector of building and local jobs. The use of the regional wood as energy maintains logically employment in this sector. The practice also encourages the development of the new technologies of eco-conception.

To reduce the energy consumption and the water consumption allows to limit the operating budget of the house.

Besides, to favor these developments, the State and the local authorities, and also institutions as the ADEME (Agence De l’Environnement et le la maîtrise de l’Energie) set up very advantageous financial operations to support the change.
