Methods for improving the thermal characteristics and airtightness of the house envelope and basement are outlined, with some examples of features that will affect actual performance. The factors that influence ventilation rates are discussed including the effect of fans and chimneys on the air pressure differences and direction of air leakage through the house walls and ceilings. An understanding, by all concerned, of the interactions between the house enclosure, the equipment and services installed and the occupancy pattern is suggested as the best route toward energy conservation.Des m\ue9thodes pour am\ue9liorer les caract\ue9ristiques thermiques et l'\ue9tanch\ue9it\ue9 \ue0 l'air de l'enveloppe et du sous-sol des maisons sont pr\ue9se...
