Assignment+Overview



=**ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW**=

Have you ever heard of green architecture? Basically, green buildings are designed to have a minimal effect on the environment. This is done in various ways, such as installing low-flow shower heads to save water, using recycled construction materials, and more. Green buildings may cost more in the short term, but in the long term they can save families money on electricity bills and other expenses.

During the first stage of this semester-long project, your group of four will research green architecture design/materials and during the second stage, you will design a green apartment building for low-income residents using [|AutoCAD] software. This webquest wiki is to help you gather information about real-life green buildings and materials. I hope you will be inspired!

If you have any questions at all, please drop by the library anytime, or IM me at: MHSLibrarian. Good luck!
