Computation
Hours: 10Understand what qualifies a material to be labeled an environmentally low impact product.
Students estimate quantities of embodied energy within materials.
Students keep to a careful budget for the project; one that is established at the beginning of the term. This budget requires computation and estimating.
Communication
Hours: 20Research, evaluate and apply environmentally responsible products to interior applications.
The majority of the course is team based learning. Students are divided into teams to create a design solution based on sustainable building practices. All work is done collaboratively. The project culminates with a team presentation.
Human Relations
Hours: 10欧洲杯决赛竞猜app_欧洲杯足球网-投注|官网 critical thinking skills to identify 'green wash' versus environmentally responsible products.
Students engage in a close study of the impact material choices can have on local and global economies.
Criteria for selecting and specifying materials includes a "human factor" meaning how much impact the creation of certain materials has on various cultures.
