sub standard housing


Sub standard housing is housing that endangers 
the health of tenants and / or the neighborhood.

Conserve heat in the house


To maintain solar energy inside the house as long 
as possible, bioclimatic architecture also includes 
effective insulation of walls, in all their thickness 

Distribute the heat throughout the house


To distribute heat well captured, bioclimatic architecture 
uses opaque materials, including a slab or walls painted 

Bioclimatic architecture


Bioclimatic architecture is 
based on three main principles 
to be reconciled in a coherent 
approach: capture the heat,
