ACTIVE SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS VS. PASSIVE SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS IN
BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS KONSTANTINA OUZOUNOGLOU
Slide 2
THE SCOPE OF MY LAC PROJECT To create supplemental learning
material that will trigger students of Civil Engineering to: Become
aware over environmental issues, Get informed on the environmental
effects of building technologies, and Learn how building
technologies are combined with environmental issues, business
strategies and policies.
Slide 3
THE PLAN Create a series of lectures Communicate and inform
students through social media Make a proposal for a team project
Develop a survey for the evaluation of the learning material
ACTIONS Contact with professors of the Technological Educational
Institute of Piraeus Collect the needed material
Slide 4
DRAWBACKS The learning material has already been scheduled from
the professors They could not let me do many presentations due to
the tight time limits of the semester LAC PROJECT UPDATE Change of
the title of the project and focus on Solar Energy Systems Creation
of only one presentation The idea of the project is canceled
Slide 5
FINAL ACTIONS Creation of the presentation Creation of a group
in Facebook called Environmental Management in Greece Creation of a
specific mail-account for further communication Presentation and
instant evaluation of the material
Slide 6
STRUCTURE OF THE PRESENTATION 1.Building Activity in Greece
Statistical Data Environmental effects Recycling of construction
wastes in Greece compared to other countries 2.Bioclimatic
Construction Advantages Criteria for applying Parameters for
successful performance Technical analysis of active and passive
solar heating and cooling systems
Slide 7
3.Study cases Vitro house Eco-House Barcelona, Spain Aloni
Antiparos Island, Greece
Slide 8
4.SWOT Analysis for Active & Passive Solar Energy Building
Systems Strengths & Weaknesses of Active Solar Systems
Strengths & Weaknesses of Passive Solar Systems Opportunities
& Threats of both Active & Passive Solar Systems 5.Win Win
Strategy Proposals
Slide 9
PRESENTATION DAY Expected number of participants: 30 students
Number of participants: 14 students Given time: 20 to 45 minutes
EVALUATION RESULTS The objectives were clear and provided
participants with new information The length of the presentation
was not totally appropriate Most participants enjoyed the
presentation
Slide 10
The material was clear and well organized More time should be
provided in order to keep a better pace in the lecture The time
spent in the presentation was worthwhile The knowledge participants
gained will improve their performance
Slide 11
LESSONS LEARNED!! There are many gaps in the curriculum It is
difficult for students to combine many factors in building
constructions The speaker should be prepared for many questions The
speaker has to focus on Each lectures presented in students should
focus only in few specific points, in order to have the time to
analyze them properly
Slide 12
FUTURE PLANS & ASPECTS Create the actual number of lectures
that are needed to cover the issues mentioned and the additional
transcripts Raise awareness in greater number of civil engineering
students or others that are interested Keep informing about
national and international environmental issues (new technologies
and strategies)
