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.

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

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

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

STRUCTURE OF THE PRESENTATION1. Building Activity in Greece• Statistical Data• Environmental effects• Recycling of construction wastes in Greece compared to other

countries2. Bioclimatic Construction • Advantages• Criteria for applying• Parameters for successful performance• Technical analysis of active and passive solar heating and

cooling systems

3. Study casesVitro house Eco-House

Barcelona, SpainAloni

Antiparos Island, Greece

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

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

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

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

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)

THANK YOUFOR YOUR ATTENTION
