During the renovation of our villa in 2009, we installed peripheral insulation and triple-glazed windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ground heating comes from a geothermal heat pump. Solar thermal panels heat sanitary water. A 4,000-litre tank collects rainwater to power toilets and washing machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few years later, we installed 34 photovoltaic panels that produce electricity and charge batteries. These batteries discharge during the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, for more than eight years, we have been raising chickens that recycle our plant waste and offer us excellent eggs every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
