Heat, power, roof.

Infrared panels
Electric radiant panels that warm a particular room in a few minutes. They serve as a supplement during short cold spells, not as the main source of heat.
Wood stove
One source that does not need the grid. In a house with this kind of thermal inertia it is enough to get through the coldest days.
Photovoltaics
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 the plot back the area the house took.

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