Alejandro Buzo et al., « Practices and demands in retrofitting of vernacular rammed earth houses », HAL-SHS : sociologie, ID : 10670/1.w5qiqd
Numerous vernacular rammed earth buildings are today submitted to energetic regulations, especially thermal norms, and contemporary comfort requirements. In such a changing context, the ability to preserve and main-tain this rammed earth heritage is questioned. Based on field studies results, the paper exposes the current practices and stakes concerning rammed earth heritage retrofitting in Dombes area, north of Lyon, France. It shows how cultures of building and of inhabiting (household profiles, retrofitting practices and processes, in-formation gathering) can be related to energy efficiency, so as to better preserve heritage quality and to ad-dress heritage retrofitting on a wider scale.
