Goals/Learning Objectives:
-
Understand innovative technology and methods (solar/wind/geothermal power)
-
Analyze first cost vs. life cycle cost tradeoffs
-
Understand residential market values and prices for “green” homes
-
Understand claims of “green” developers

Workshop: Using their own residences, students will analyze the cost tradeoffs for adding innovative technologies to their homes. Bringing in photos of their property, students will be able to analyze items such as:
-
Adding solar power, wind power, and/or geothermal power generators
-
How much more will my home sell for if I add these to it?
-
What do I look for in a so-called “green” or sustainable home or community?
-
Students taking these workshops will gain an understanding of sustainability related to landscape, architecture, and interior design, both for their own residences and for their community.
Each workshop explores a different question, and the workshops can be taken individually or as an entire class series.
