U6 – Building Physics / Sustainability

U6 – Session 8:
Environmental Sustainability

U6 – Building Physics and SustainabilityObjectives:

  • PEI, CO₂ storage capacity of straw compared to other building matters (Baubook, acidification)
  • different land use causing of different traffic solutions plus energy consumption
  • footprint for housing and traffic
  • importance of ecological performance in globalized world / climate
  • can compare the footprint of a straw building compared with conventional building techniques
  • energy and material consumption for the building process
  • life cycle tools (i.e. eco2 soft)

Method:

  • lectures, exercises, workshop, world café

Theory:

  • lectures, charts, …

Practice/Task:

  • world café
  • internet research
  • compare and evaluate PEI of different building methods
  • CO₂ calculation of different materials
  • select and evaluate materials due to their ecological performance
