This involves developing and testing solutions adapted to local realities, such as thermal insulation, natural ventilation and the use of sustainable traditional materials. These innovations are tested in pilot projects before being generalized. At the same time, training courses are offered to craftsmen and building professionals to enable them to integrate these techniques into their practices and encourage their widespread adoption.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Involving local residents <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Involving local residents is also essential. The project raises awareness among households of best practices for limiting heat and improving the energy efficiency of their homes. This involves learning simple gestures, such as strategic ventilation by opening windows, using shutters and choosing energy-saving equipment. In addition, FRESH promotes local know-how by encouraging the use of traditional materials and techniques, often better adapted to climatic conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Creating links between players<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00b7<\/span><b>ices<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, FRESH helps to bring together the various players involved in home improvement. It facilitates exchanges between craftsmen and residents through digital platforms and information campaigns, while also setting up accessible financing solutions. The aim is to enable households to invest in sustainable solutions without cost being an obstacle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Multi-level action: an integrated approach <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FRESH operates at three levels: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>At the level of individual homes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with advice and adapted equipment;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>At building level<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, by integrating energy renovation techniques;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>And at neighborhood level<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, by promoting urban developments such as vegetation and the creation of cool islands.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through these three components and different scales of intervention, FRESH aims to contribute to the improvement of construction and renovation practices, while strengthening local economic sectors and the living conditions of local residents.
