Abstract
The setting-up of bioclimatism (use of natural energy provision without conversion into another form of energy, either electric, thermal or mechanical) is a renewable energy, in the sense that it is an inexhaustible and, moreover, a very cheap energy. Bioclimatism includes, first, analysis of the microclimate, aspect of the building, aspect of the windows and the roof, use of natural ventilation and air-conditioning, and optimization of natural light. Even if those different assets can sometimes have conflicting elements, because one cannot achieve all of them at the same time, bioclimatism has the great advantage of having no natural or seasonal boundaries. The case of Helsinki (member of Energie-Cités), given its project for the full creation of the environment-friendly district Viikki is interesting in many respects: implemented partnership, adopted methodology, scope of the project, issues. A project to follow.
