Provençal well




by benoitdelucmau » 02/08/06, 17:05

hello i'm new to this forum

I just signed up

as bcp of person attending this forum I am looking to build a house taking into account the ecological dimension so I wish to make a provencal well only I ask myself some questions hoping that some will be able to answer me

thank you in advance

I think to bring out my sheath under my central island of my kitchen that is it annoying that a piece of furniture is 10 cm above?

for the siphon I don't really know how to install it knowing that I have no crawl space if I stick a pipe on the ground with a drain can it work to evacuate the condensation?

hoping to find rg thank you

:D This is a commendable and intelligent project.
The Provençal well or Canadian well is well documented on many sites dedicated to housing.
You will find specialists, photos and plans of achievements.
If you build, choose a GLOBAL solution of the bioclimatic house type or better, low energy house (in accordance with the guidelines of the European study "CEPHEUS" of 15 Kwh / m² and per year), the estimated additional cost in France is 10%, in other EU countries, no additional cost.

The nec plus ultra being the autonomous house, it is not a utopia and the "technical" solutions are numerous to achieve it. there is on this forums some members who are energetically autonomous ...

The low energy house mentioned above (15kwh / m² and per year instead of 150kwh / m² and per year for a traditional house is 10 times less !!!) is just a house optimized in terms of its insulation, the elimination of thermal bridges, choice of materials ...
Overall, traditional construction methods are aberrant ...
For example it is irrational to put the joinery on the interior nude.
It would be much more logical to place them on the outside bare and then to insulate from the outside to ensure good continuity of the insulation with the joinery but also with the lower insulation (floor) and upper (ceiling or roof). This removes all thermal bridges.

For an autonomous house, the renewable (and free) energy source are the sun, the wind and the water. To use them properly, STORE them.

This requires space ...
many choices :
- Batteries, expensive, store only electricity, in limited quantities.
- Water, bulky, stores calories convertible into heating, hot water, even electricity (tubine, stirling engine ...)
- Refractory stones, pebbles ... store calories (usually solar) used to heat the air in the home.

There is also the choice of a passive house, so isolated that it needs neither heating nor air conditioning. Efficient ventilation (vmc double flow) is essential, however. the ideal is to couple such ventilation with a Canadian / Provençal well.

Some sites but the list is not exhaustive.
For the CEPHEUS project there is no kidney in French to my knowledge.
Be brave.

I clicked out of curiosity, and I say thank you for giving me one of the most beautiful revelations of my existence; I will deepen (literally and figuratively)

well, only one installer opinion: arrange for your well to be accessible quite easily, pcq that if you have to go fight with your pipe in thirty years, under the siphon of the sink, you will not appreciate at all and you will give up using it. Arrange for your furniture to be easy to dismantle

(and this is valid, for ALL types of installation in ALL houses)
