Sustainable Building Design Research Project

Description

The aim of sustainable building design is to minimize environmental impact while ensuring health, safety and comfort for all. In Part 1 of this project, students will research an award-winning sustainable building, analyzing its design strategies in integration, equity, ecosystems, water management, economic impact, well-being, and resource efficiency. In Part 2, they will apply these principles to their community, developing a sustainable building concept through critical thinking and design. In this section, students can choose their own project focus or even participate in a teacher-led design competition!

NGSSHS-LS2-7

Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity. Examples of human activities can include urbanization, building dams, and dissemination of invasive species.

NGSSHS-ETS1-3

Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.

NGSSHS-ESS3-2

Evaluate competing design solutions for developing, managing, and utilizing energy and mineral resources based on cost-benefit ratios. Emphasis is on the conservation, recycling, and reuse of resources (such as minerals and metals) where possible, and on minimizing impacts where it is not. Examples include developing best practices for agricultural soil use, mining (for coal, tar sands, and oil shales), and pumping (for petroleum and natural gas). Science knowledge indicates what can happen in natural systems—not what should happen.
