Alice Chougnet and Jacques Goulpeau explain how their young company, Geosophy, evaluates the potential benefits of such a solution according to the location and configuration of a building, which makes it possible to invest wisely. This can significantly reduce both the greenhouse gas emissions linked to the heating and cooling of existing buildings and the energy bills of their occupants. However, in France, we are still far from having exploited the potential of this virtuous technology...
