Heat, power, roof.

Infrared panels
Electric radiant panels that warm a particular room in a few minutes. They top up the heating during short cold spells; they are not the main source of heat.
Wood-burning stove
A heat source that does not depend on the grid. In a house with this much thermal mass, it is enough to get through the coldest days.
Solar PV
Panels on the roof or on the plot cover part of the annual consumption of the house.
Green roof
The roof surface is alive. It holds back rainwater, cools itself by evaporation and gives back to the plot the green space the house took up.

Earth coverThe house is covered by a layer of soil that insulates it, evens out temperature swings and protects the shell from sun and frost.
Terrace · 47 m²A covered or open area adjoining the living space.
