Low-energy housing

From a sustainable construction perspective, there is no "ideal" building. The characteristics of an energy-efficient home vary according to the climate, the building's size, its function or spatial organization for example.

The flash animation below shows a cross-section of a typical apartment block (communal housing, located in a country with a temperate climate using traditional construction methods).
To find out Lafarge solutions and sustainable constrution rules, navigate by category using the tabs at the top of the flash animation or directly by clicking on the buttons in the home's rooms.
