Alouette’s ÉcoTerra housing concept integrates
readily available, renewable energy technologies
with new, energy-efficient construction
techniques. Our construction methods meet
the needs of the future, today, by providing
healthy and energy-efficient housing.
Key elements are a high performance
thermal envelope, optimal use of
passive solar energy, energy
recovery inside and out, use of
renewable energy sources and the
installation of a heat recovery
ventilation system to ensure
a constant, comfortable
temperature and humidity
level.
