Sustainability Team


Every lab room has 7 teams. I have a separate post for each team with quotes from the status reports. I would like the students to speak for themselves so I have picked out a selection of comments to show the variety in design approaches.

Sustainability:
“Familiarization and research current sustainable, environmentally friendly building practices
Compile list of relevant options: Solar, grey water, lighting, building materials, heat recovery, landscaping”

“The Sustainability group has reported that they selected a keyword – harmony. They have decided on using the concept of xeriscaping for green spaces by introducing only local plants.”

“We came up with the idea of a rooftop greenhouse.”
