What is an eco-house? There are various ways of conceiving an eco-house. The primary principle lies on constructing and arranging in an environment-friendly way, which means:  laying the stress on a natural and reinforced isolation in order to save energy.  choosing natural material such as wood, straw, clay, preferably of local stock/origin.  applying a system of eco-heating, such as solar panels, heat pump etc.  arrange the building in line with a bioclimatic logic (rooms’ orientations, protection against wind and sun by mans of trees and a protruding tile roof etc.)

What you’re going to do while on the work camp: – We are going to finalize the construction of ecological house.
