The 2023 edition of the reference book on the subject of ecological insulation!
Originally written by two pioneering authors in the field of ecological architecture, Jean-Pierre Oliva – who has worked as a joiner, builder of timber-framed buildings, project manager and consultant and trainer in ecological, bioclimatic architecture and eco-construction – and Samuel Courgey, a leading authority on energy performance and the environmental approach, trainer and expert, This book has been updated, a dozen years after its previous version, to comply with current regulations (RE 2020, RT), confirming the relevance of the solutions and materials proposed and shedding new light on certain phenomena that are now better understood and explained – such as the risk of condensation in walls or the problem of summer comfort.
This book provides practical tools for meeting the most demanding targets for reducing energy consumption, while respecting the comfort and health of residents. It suggests the most environmentally-friendly materials, i.e. those that cause little or no pollution, emit low levels of greenhouse gases, and are in line with the ambitions of the circular economy, i.e. avoiding as far as possible materials that cannot be recycled.
Not only is the impact on the environment taken into account, but also the impact on health and well-being, by proposing materials that pose no risk to those who make or use them, or to the people who live in the homes.
Installation techniques are detailed for each of these materials, with the emphasis on the most sustainable systems for insulating walls, floors, roofs and windows.
In the case of renovation, the authors suggest solutions adapted to the characteristics of the original walls, whether they are new or old.
Accurate and well-documented, L’isolation thermique écologique is one of the most comprehensive manuals on insulation available today. Essential reading before any construction or renovation project!
