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.
