Solar house

Building a solar house model helps to understand how it is possible to use the power of the Sun to save energy or even to be completely independent from the energies we normally use in our buildings.

Even if they are still rare, some buildings already use only renewable energies. These 'autonomous buildings' are built in such a way that a central heating is no longer necessary. To achieve this, they are extremely well insultated and air-tight and designed to benefit a maximum from the energy of the Sun.

This project is a simple illustration of the main principles used in this type of building.
