Practical Ecology
Do you want to renovate a house with ecological materials but hesitate to take the plunge? This book is for you!
Based on the successful renovation of a typical 1970s bungalow, clad in grey cement and with a synthetic slate roof, Gwendal Le Ménahèze, a journalist at the magazine The Ecological Home, has written this logbook that addresses with precision, sincerity and humour all the steps to take to create a cozy, contemporary and energy-efficient home.
All stages are covered:
• Preparations: diagnostics, formalities, resources, choice of craftsmen, plans, budget, schedule, procurement, storage, tools…
• The works, with very detailed step-by-step guides: insulation of walls with hemp-straw; cladding in untreated wood; local doors and windows; attic insulation in recycled cellulose wadding or wood fiberboard panels; partitions in timber frame and plant fibers, in raw earth bricks, in cob of earth-straw-sawdust; natural paints and clay plasters; flooring in cork, oak and bamboo…
• The post-project assessment: budget, energy consumption, human assessment.
A very useful account of experience for individuals — whether they want to do the work themselves or hire craftsmen — and for renovation professionals.
