Pascale and I, 2 habitologists, analyzed the recent purchase of 2 happy owners of a magnificent property. It is pretty (in our eyes anyway) and it has many assets: photovoltaic: location, inclination, sizing/efficiency, batteries? land, a possible vegetable garden + a few fruit trees, pond, water tank: observation of cracks on the casing, should it be redone? difference in level and water flow: how to use them to produce electricity? joints and coatings with bastard lime/cement mortar: consequences of too high a dosage of cement management of rainwater coming from the municipal road? sizing of the drains? degraded roofing on one side of the roof and not the others, probable causes. insulating lost attics without removing the entire floor to remove the old glass wool, changing the windows? spectra of the assembly joints of a plastered brick lining partition, thermal correction or insulation, how to manage the joinery tables? recycling or extraction hood? stove: different types, compatibility with VMC? WARNING!!!: Pascale and I have gone far beyond the role of a habitologist. Pascale is, beyond her duties as a habitologist, a mason specializing in old walls, a maker of thermal corrective coatings and finishing coatings, as well as a trainer in these two specialties. I myself have been a carpenter, builder, project manager by delegation, and trainer in biosourced insulation (among other activities in the building industry). Our activities other than habitolopogue, current or former, have allowed us to go beyond the framework of the simple analysis of an old habitat… ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ????

He identifies the factors that influence their comfort, provides the keys to making informed decisions, based on an in-depth understanding of their living space. His impartial and objective approach ensures advice focused on their needs, without commercial influence and thus avoids often unnecessary work. He helps them reduce the environmental impact of their home and save energy. Finally, he offers solutions to preserve their home and their heritage in the long term. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ???? Who am I? ???? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ // Claude Lefrançois, aka Papy Claude After 40 years of activity in the building industry, including 20 years in the service of ecological construction, I felt the need to pass on the knowledge and experience accumulated. Author at Terre Vivante and host of the Youtube channel “Papy Claude”, I now devote myself to this transmission via the creation of a network of professionals: the habitologists. The objective of this network is to enable residents to achieve their goals: achieve comfort by significantly and truly reducing their footprint (greenhouse gas emissions, use of resources, etc.), respect for the inhabitant/habitat couple (sustainability of the habitat, budget, etc.) Former craftsman, former project manager, former MOB (Timber Frame House) builder, holder of a MOB construction principle certificate in kit form, trainer in ecological construction and insulation, author of articles... My favorite word? Relevance!
