Energy : solar energy is used as the main energy source to generate electricity and hot water. In addition, value is placed on good thermal insulation. Firewood, which is used as sparingly as possible and comes from our own production, also supplements the energy supply. |

Heating with firewood
Wooden stoves for basic supplies In winter it gets really cold with 0° - 10° C even in the Provence. That is why there must be effective heating in houses that are occupied all year round. Thanks to good thermal insulation, the heating energy requirement can be reduced by around 2/3. This saves a lot of work that would otherwise be necessary for firewood extraction and reduces the environment exposure to smoke. See also category :
