In order to reduce the consumption of fuel oil at the Misère Farm considerably, the FNEL Foundation commissioned a company to carry out major alterations to the heating system in 2018. Solar thermal energy will now be used to heat the hot water for the showers. A heat exchanger will allow some of the energy from the ventilation system in the sanitary blocks to be recovered and a new central heating control system will allow the stored energy to be used wisely. The Ministry of Family and Integration has agreed to provide financial support for this project.
