HOME WHO ARE WE ? REGIONAL NETWORKS CONTACTS LOG IN RESEARCH WHO ARE WE ? This website is administered and run by the Oïkos ecoconstruction association , located in La-Tour-de-Salvagny (near Lyon), commissioned by the French Straw Construction Network to run the network in the Rhône-Alpes Region , with the financial support from the Regional Council. The panorama is part of a set of regional sector structuring actions, started in October 2011, intended to boost supply and demand in straw construction and improve the quality of construction. The Rhône-Alpes region is the second pilot region of the regionalization policy of the French Straw Construction Network after the Center region. The Oïkos association Since 1991, the Oïkos association has been helping to develop and promote eco-construction and eco-renovation in order to move towards buildings that are sober from an energy point of view and designed from healthy and ecological materials. Oïkos actions are grouped into 3 poles: Information, Adult training, Environmental and Sustainable Development education. The objective of the Information department is to provide professionals and individuals alike, self-builders or project leaders, with objective, disinterested expertise at the cutting edge of technological developments: Technical advice workshops conferences site visits and inter-professional meetings. Its resource center at the Ecocentre du Lyonnais is housed in a 500m² building with wood, straw, earth and lime plaster. The building and its fittings are a full-scale demonstration object to address construction choices and implementation details. Oïkos offers training for construction professionals, people in retraining and self-builders: energy performance associated with eco-materials, ecological renovation, environmental quality of buildings, propaille, project management, etc. The association also works with the general public, young and old, to offer educational activities related to housing, by promoting learning by doing and experimentation. With this in mind, she carries out animations on the principles of the bioclimatic house, on water in the habitat and the quality of indoor air, on the making of ecological paints, mud bricks or on construction. of ecological cabins.
