The idea of this project is to build a building low energy or passive using a maximum of natural materials. Straw has therefore imposed any naturally because it is available near the site is a very good insulator and support
coating of choice. The self-construction is also naturally imposed. It is a great satisfaction for teachers Material to say they built them-own homes. It’s also a very good method to limit the budget for construction. The first winter in the house confirmed the very good thermal performance of the building. This is 3-4 cubic meters of wood that has been consumed. In future consumption is expected to fall to 2 cubic meters with installing a wood more efficient heater. The project works exclusively with rainwater, and through to dry toilets, household consumption is about 70 m3 of water per year. Hot water is produced via solar panels.
