LOW3 - Green Office Working groups are now fully active: Community garden secured and planted, first recycled furniture and equipment constructed (Ping Pong table!), LOW3 upstair space under refurbishment, “In the Cube” Podcasts under production, GoGreenETSAV Instagram with regular posts, LOW3 shading device with removable foundations in design and experimentation stage. Great Work!
Solar thermal collectors, solar PV installations in buildings, design for disassembly, modular prefabricated housing, light-weight greenhouse technologies, circularity of building materials, and many other topics are nice to learn in theory, but why, when we can just walk down the campus and visit a prototype building, experience, explore and touch its components and materials, and start a discussion and reflection process right in the place?
Second year class of
Construction Systems II course had the opportunity to do so, and I think it was
a fruitful way to learn about construction techniques, solar technologies and sustainable
solutions for buildings in general.
25 new students, half ETSAV, half Erasmus, took over LOW3 for continuing another semester with our GREEN OFFICE activities at ETSAV.
In the third edition 2023/24, the students are currently carrying out a reform of the interior spaces of the Living Lab LOW3, for use as an exhibition space for reclaimed and recycled materials from construction and the design and construction of a pergola with recycled materials for the terrace of the LOW3 solar house on Campus, with the aim of being able to use the space as an activity space for the entire ETSAV community during the warm months. In addition, the garden is reactivated community of the Campus and optimizes the collection and reuse of rainwater for irrigation and continues with the GoGreenETSAV dissemination projects and the In the Cube podcast.
A la tercera edició 2023/24, els estudiants actualment duen a terme una reforma dels espais interiors del Living Lab LOW3, per al seu ús com a espai d'exposició de materials recuperats i reciclats de la construcció i el disseny i la construcció d'una pèrgola amb materials reciclats per la terrassa de la casa solar LOW3 al Campus, amb la finalitat de poder fer servir l'espai com a espai d'activitats per a tota la comunitat ETSAV durant els mesos càlids. A més, es reactiva l'hort
comunitari del Campus i s'optimitza la recollida i reutilització d'aigües pluvials per al seu reg i se segueix amb els projectes de difusió GoGreenETSAV i el podcast In the Cube.
