LIVING LABS AS A PEDAGOGICAL TEACHING TOOL FOR GREEN BUILDING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION IN HOT ARID REGIONS

According to IPCC (2017), buildings account for almost half of global energy consumption (Beck and Mahony, 2017), while on the regional level in the Middle East, the building sector alone accounts for about 40% of the region's total energy consumption (RCREEE, 2013). [...]a growing demand for m...

Description
Summary:According to IPCC (2017), buildings account for almost half of global energy consumption (Beck and Mahony, 2017), while on the regional level in the Middle East, the building sector alone accounts for about 40% of the region's total energy consumption (RCREEE, 2013). [...]a growing demand for more sustainable green buildings and the need for low or zero carbon cities has arisen, but implementing holistic sustainable design approaches requires well-trained professionals and architects (Gucyeter, 2016). Furthermore, no clear pedagogy for fully integrating sustainable environmental design within architectural curricula is currently in place (Altomonte, 2009). [...]the integration of energy efficiency methods and environmental awareness in architectural education curricula is highly important. [...]the importance of both in-class and off-campus active, experiential learning is nothing new (Salama, 2010).
