Geothermal energy

Geothermal energy (or thermodynamic heating with buried sensors) is a system which captures calories and transfers them to the internal heating circuit of your home (floor heating/cooling or radiators). The system is also reversible since it is also capable of cooling your interior during the summer. Finally, thanks to geothermal energy, it is also possible to ensure the production of domestic hot water (associated with your heating or independently of it) or to heat the water in your swimming pool to extend the swimming period. See our renewable energy coupling solutions.

Aerothermal energy

The ambient air around us naturally contains calories, even when it is cold (down to -15°C). Aerothermal energy consists of recovering these calories, through an aerial sensor, in order to transfer them to the heating circuit of your home (heated floor, radiators, fan coils). Like geothermal energy, it is also possible to reverse the system to cool the interior during summer periods. Likewise, thanks to aerothermal energy, it is possible to produce domestic hot water or even heat your swimming pool (see our renewable energy coupling solutions). This system is particularly suitable for homes that do not have an exterior surface area or have a small exterior surface area, where geothermal energy is de facto excluded.

Solar heating

Did you know that the earth receives from the sun each year 10,000 times the energy consumption needs of its inhabitants? Solar heating is designed to exploit the calories from solar radiation for domestic purposes, regardless of where you live. It is, in fact, possible to compensate for low sunshine with a larger collection surface. It should be noted, however, that it is uncommon (or even impossible) to use a solar system for the sole purpose of heating: it is almost always associated with domestic hot water production and in reality constitutes a heating supplement.

Heating by condensation

Gas or oil boilers have always existed. What is new is the optimization of this system. Indeed, for increased efficiency and additional savings, condensing boilers now exist. Powered by gas or fuel oil, these boilers are particularly economical and comfortable to use… all while preserving the environment. In addition to heating your home, this technology is also able to produce domestic hot water.

Reversible air conditioning

Produce cold air with hot air or vice versa. This is the functionality of reversible air conditioning, thus guaranteeing you a regulated temperature all year round. With little energy consumption, reversible air conditioning contributes, as such, to the protection of the environment while guaranteeing you the most appreciable thermal comfort. A reversible air conditioner works like a refrigerator. On one side it produces cold (inside), on the other it releases heat (outside). In heating mode, the cycle is reversed and the hot air is “exhausted” to the interior of your home. The process that helps produce this phenomenon is achieved using a refrigerant fluid and a compressor. As its name suggests, the compressor compresses the refrigerant fluid which has the capacity to transfer its calorific or refrigerating effects thanks to its changes of state (liquid state, gaseous state).

The Canadian well and the double-flow VMC

The Canadian well, otherwise called the Provençal well, is a very low energy geothermal exchanger. It ensures the cooling of your interior in summer and the pre-heating of the ventilated air in winter. If the Canadian well can ensure the cooling of your interior in summer, it cannot, however, alone ensure the heating of your home in winter. It can, at best, keep it in a “frost-free” position. This is why the Canadian well is frequently coupled with double flow mechanical ventilation (VMC).

The biomass

The term “biomass” brings together all organic materials that can constitute an energy source. They can, for heating purposes, be used either directly (wood energy), or after methanization (biofuel), or after chemical transformation (biofuel). Contrary to popular belief, biomass is an energy source that helps fight global warming. Indeed, if it is true that the combustion of biomass generates CO2 emissions, these are not greater than the C02 absorbed by plants throughout their growth. In fact, we can consider the impact of biomass on the environment to be neutral. Wood energy, materialized by logs, pellets or even shredded wood, constitutes one of the energy sources most frequently used for domestic heating and the production of domestic hot water.
