Environmental policy
When we acquired this property in 2005, with the aim of creating guest rooms, we immediately opted for equipment running on renewable energies:
- solar panels for hot water- reversible heat pumps (heating and air conditioning)- air-to-water heat pumps to heat the pool- R-volt photovoltaic panels (electricity production, heating and indoor air purification).
As well as various measures:- double glazing- a rainwater harvesting system for watering the garden- pool maintenance with a filtration system that limits the use of products- composting of all waste (food and vegetable)- selective sorting of other waste- planting flowering trees and shrubs, with compost, by creating hedges, as well as fruit trees and the creation of a vegetable garden- manual (CAT Le Colombier) or thermal weeding- rational consumption of resources- creation of an entire sewerage network in compliance with SIBVA- recovery of ashes from the chimney and wood stove in the home and distribution in the vegetable garden- use of a vegetable shredder and distribution of chips in the beds
