Energy losses

To improve the comfort of the house, it’s good to prioritize thermal insulation work to the elements considered as the main sources of heat loss. Heat escapes from 30% of poorly insulated attics and roofs, 25% of heat loss comes from walls, 10 to 15% from windows and panes of glass and 7 to 10% from floors.

Main benefits of insulation

Insulation work protects the interior of a house from external thermal and acoustic influences. In order to improve the comfort of the house, it is recommended to combine insulation work with an economical heating solution. Insulation can be designed with rock wool, glass wool, polystyrene and other specific materials.

Energy management actions

Rational energy consumption behaviours make it possible to reduce energy losses: abandoning electric heating, properly insulating your home, not leaving appliances on unnecessarily…Promoting bioclimatic architecture in building design is one of the collective measures to be implemented.

Heating with wood pellets

If you are willing to use wood as a heating energy source, it is not recommended to stop at choosing the models of heating devices available on the market. It is also important to choose from the different types of fuel available: traditional logs, briquettes or logs, wood chips or shredded wood, pellets, etc.
