L’isolation thermique écologique
Jean-Pierre Oliva, Samuel Courgey
Published in 2001, the first version of Ecological Thermal Insulation quickly became the reference in France on the subject. This new edition, entirely revised and expanded, is essential reading before any construction or renovation project. This book provides the practical tools to meet the new and very demanding objectives of reducing energy consumption in the home, while respecting the comfort and health of the inhabitants. It proposes the most ecological materials, i.e. low or non-polluting, low greenhouse gas emitting and easily recyclable. For each of these materials, the authors detail and illustrate the techniques of implementation by privileging the most sustainable systems. For rehabilitation, they propose solutions adapted to the characteristics of the original walls. Written in a language accessible to all, it is intended for both individuals and professionals. It incorporates the guidelines decided at the Grenelle de l’environnement, including those concerning the new thermal regulations, applicable from 2012.
