Room 2 have been learning about Future proofing our world. Their challenge is to investigate innovations in building that help to save energy and protect the environment. In pairs or on their own they have brainstormed some ideas and they are using minecraft to build a new home that uses some of these techniques.
Some of the ideas they had to think about included:
- water supply- to drink, use and irrigate, travel
- animal farm- to eat, use produce
- solar panels
- heating source- insulation and underfloor heating
- gardens- food source
- Green building materials- natural, from a local source
- Colour choices for heat absorptions and reflection
- position of places to the sun
