Description

In this lesson, students explore dynamic (smart) glass as an innovative climate solution for building sustainability and energy efficiency. Students learn how dynamic glass technology works, investigate the role of artificial intelligence and data collection in modern building design, and research similar building technologies to compare their effectiveness, feasibility, and environmental impact. Through hands-on research and presentation, students consider how housing and design innovations contribute to net-zero goals and examine trade-offs, accessibility, and equity issues in green building technology.
