What is the cost of Sustainable Housing?
by Heather John
In this lesson students will identify different types of sustainable housing, engage in depth learning with hands on experience of what it takes to build a home from the outside to the inside, practice using a budget to mock what engineers and what it takes to build a home when selecting what is best due to cost. Also, students will take all from what they learned in this lesson to make decisions for their sustainable house and decide what materials they will use to represent each choice.
