The market for houses with moderate temperatures and self-sufficient in energy is in full expansion and with the current energy crisis, these new models of housing are more and more popular.
How to build green houses? At Arnaud’s Hacquin,at Hourtin (Gironde)the insulation is made using natural materials, in particular wood fiber, to keep cool in summer and prevent heat loss in winter. It’s a “pop-house”. “On average, I have a consumption of 80 € per month, which is really not much for such a dwelling of 154 square meters“, says the owner. Such a dwelling costs more than 2,300 euros per square meter.
Inevitably, this attracts a relatively wealthy clientele, but the sector is booming. “For five years, we have experienced a big progression”confides Laurent Roubinet whose company built Arnaud’s wooden house. “Our turnover has increased sixfold.” It is also possible to build a house out of clay and straw. A house can be self-sufficient in energy thanks to solar panels and the recovery of rainwater. A good way to preserve the planet and avoid feeling the energy crisis.
