Les travaux ou l'épargne ? La haute performance ou l'efficaité simple et durable ?
Times are changing: economic difficulties, dwindling resources, chaotic geopolitics, climate upheaval… the picture is familiar, no need to rehash it, simply stating it is enough! Should I prepare to resist, should I anticipate needs, limits, constraints? What do I choose: a reserve for when things go wrong? Projects that will reduce my needs? "No big deal," say the optimists, "humankind has always managed to bounce back, and it will again!" These people think, try to convince us, that we will overcome current difficulties thanks to high technology, cutting-edge, innovative, even revolutionary systems! … I sincerely hope they are right… However, BEWARE! As Marcel Pagnol's father said when he was little, in "My Father's Glory": a revolution is a complete turn, therefore a return to the starting point… except that, inevitably, we come back with even greater complications than before the revolution! In this video, we explore other avenues, digress a bit, and provide some basic examples… judge for yourself! Recommended video: • Faut-il vraiment chauffer autant ? Compren...

A Habitologist is an independent professional who guides clients to make their homes more comfortable, energy-efficient, healthy, and sustainable. They identify the factors that influence their comfort and provide the tools to make informed decisions based on a thorough understanding of their living space. Their impartial and objective approach ensures advice focused on their needs, free from commercial influence, thus preventing often unnecessary renovations. They help clients reduce the environmental impact of their homes and save energy. Finally, he offers solutions for preserving their homes and heritage in the long term. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🏡 Who am I? 🏡 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ // Claude Lefrançois, aka Papy Claude After 40 years in the building industry, including 20 years dedicated to sustainable building, I felt the need to share the knowledge and experience I had accumulated. As an author with Terre Vivante and host of the YouTube channel “Papy Claude,” I now devote myself to this sharing by building a network of professionals: the habitologists. The goal of this network is to help residents achieve their objectives: to attain comfort while significantly and genuinely reducing their footprint (greenhouse gas emissions, resource use, etc.), and to respect the relationship between residents and their homes (housing sustainability, budget, etc.). Former craftsman, former project manager, former timber frame house builder, holder of a patent for a prefabricated timber frame construction principle, trainer in ecological construction and insulation, author of articles... My favorite word? Relevance!
