LOW3-WISER: FINAL EVENT

WISER prototypes and the related exhibition about Construction and Demolition Waste at LOW3 have been presented by students to their fellows within a festive and dynamic event at the ETSAV terrace and the LOW3 Living Lab facilities. A Kahoot quiz about important figures regarding embodied carbon and the decarbonization challenge in general spread the word and some knowledge about the changes we need to make in the building sector and as society as a whole. 
Ice-cream, beer and music contributed to combine the social with the disciplinary side of the event and LOW3 showed once more to be a great space for value discussions, learning by doing and a holistic approach to sustainability. 
Congratulations to the LOW3 students of this semester!

LOW3-WISER: Prototype construction!

We now enter the final phase of LOW3-Wiser: Prototype construction of our WiSER proposals (Waste-based Intelligent Solar-control-devices for Envelope Refurbishment). Students are using the CRITT Building Workshop at ETSAV and the LOW3 Living Lab spaces for construction of 1:1 samples of their designs. These will then be exposed and tested at the LOW3 south façade for understanding their performance under real conditions of building integration. A great way of a learning by building approach on construction, performance and materiality of building envelopes and solar control devices!
