Project-based learning, Life Cycle Assessment, Carbon FootprintAbstract
This teaching experience works on collective housing projects developed by the students, in which a process of evaluation of the carbon footprint is developed using digital tools and identification of possible improvements for the results obtained. This exercise involves the integration of the calculation of the carbon footprint using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, as well as the awareness of the impacts generated by the different systems, elements and materials that make up the building. The aim of this is to stimulate a physical and tangible approach to the calculation of the carbon footprint incorporated into the architectural design, where the implications of the design, the volumetry of the building, the importance of optimisation in the design of the different systems that make up the building, as well as the selection of materials can be identified.
