Contextualized question
How successful are sustainable approaches at different scales in Katy, Texas, USA
13
What stage are we at now?
14
leed buildings Watch the video and research the attached websites- what does it mean to be a LEED building? Extra research:
15
LEED A green buildings rating system
16
How could we assess these features in our new school?

Site/location sustainability: this section addresses the environmental aspects related to the site where the building will be constructed and the relationship of this with the surroundings. The goals are to limit the impact generated by the construction activities, to control the storm water runoff, to encourage environmentally friendly construction methods and techniques following the ecosystem balance. Water Management: this section addresses the environmental issues related to the use, handling and disposal of the buildings water efficiency by monitoring the water flow and promoting the reduction of water consumption and reuse of storm water. Energy and Atmosphere: this section addresses the improving of the building energy performance, the use of energy from renewable or alternative sources and the control of energy performance. Materials and Resources: this section addresses the environmental issues related to the selection of materials, the reduction in using virgin materials, the waste disposal and the reduction of the environmental impact caused by transportation. Internal environmental quality: this section addresses the environmental concerns related to the internal environmental quality, in terms of health, safety and comfort, energy consumption, effectiveness of air circulation and control of air contamination. Design innovation: This section addresses the identification of the design aspects characterized by innovative aspects and applications of sustainable practices in the building construction process.

Task: practice investigation
Why are we doing this: Investigating sustainability at school scale Gain a better understanding of sustainability Task: practice investigation To what extent does our new school show the characteristics of a LEED building
22
stages of investigation: linked to learning cycle
processing understanding of task question How can you act on this- how could you investigate the research question? How do we interpret this? What were the results of the investigation? constructing new understanding
23
stages of investigation:1
What data will you collect? How will you collect it?- where/ method etc… Task: in groups of 2-3 design a method of investigating the extent to which this building meets LEED certification Share your ideas with another group- constructively feedback
24
example data collection tables
25
stages of investigation: 2
Collect data on LEED building characteristics - 1 learning session
26
stages of investigation: 3
Process information- using your data consider to what extent does this building show LEED building characteristics? Share your groups results with peers
27
stages of investigation: 4
Reflection: Evaluate data collection methods
28
stages of investigation: 5
Gather new information, interpret Using the information collected around school construct some questions for the school architect Ed Smidt of the sustainability of the new school
29
summary How could we use the information
collected in our bigger study?
