2. The Monte Rosa Mountain Hut Overall learning objectives: Gather and display data and interpret it to explain energy transfer and efficiency. Apply concepts of energy transfer and conservation to building design. Gather data to monitor effectiveness of solutions and evaluate impact. Design solutions to meet various characteristics of a brief and judge the extent to which a design solution meets the required brief. Page 2Introduction: The Monte Rosa Mountain Hut

3. The Monte Rosa Mountain Hut Overall learning outcomes: To be able to explain scientifically how energy is transferred from a building to the surroundings. To suggest how energy loss can be prevented. To investigate this and draw conclusions. Page 3Introduction: The Monte Rosa Mountain Hut

5. The Monte Rosa Mountain Hut What needs to be considered when designing a structure like the Monte Rosa Mountain Hut? How would the design of this have to be different from a building in a town? Why would it need to be well designed in terms of energy? How are environments like that being damaged through the way that energy is used on a large scale?
