Building from the Ground Up
Green is no longer the color of the season. It is the color of the century. The concept of being green is one of the most important issues facing not just our society, but the planet. With our curriculum, going green is more than just talk – alternative energies, alternative materials, and alternative designs walk the walk. Your students will be eyeing the future of home design as they learn the basics of 3D CAD while getting to know the importance in building green.
This uniquely designed curriculum gives your students the chance to develop a house of the future while learning the value of giving back. It has your students working with a charity to create houses for those in need.
Let’s take a closer look.
Building Green – Home Design is a self-contained curriculum that takes your students through the art of 3D CAD to unveil their unique green designs. Through a certification process, your students will be learning:
- 3D CAD Overview
- Structures (Interior & Exterior Walls, Roofs, and Stairs)
- Measurements and Dimensions
- Mechanicals Layout (Plumbing, HVAC and Electrical)
- Alternative Energy and Energy Conservation
- Green Materials
- New Green Design Techniques
- Space Design and Layout
- Scale Modeling
- And many more topics…
Living Green
Is it just a fad? Living green has become a huge industry with companies desperate to find their place in the alternative resources landscape. We offer your students a chance to explore the hot eco-careers that are springing up everyday.
Your students will begin to explore how they can use their talents to create the next great design – the next generation of green architecture.
Building Green – Home Design takes your students into the technical understanding of 3D CAD while allowing them to dream big when it comes to using alternative energies, materials, and designs.
You’ll see students begin to think differently about their own choices and how they can help overcome the challenges we, as a planet, are facing.
No CAD Experience Necessary
Building Green – Home Design is easy to use – no CAD experience is required – really. We teach you and your students all about 3D CAD and Green Design through digital videos.
Literally, within a single planning period, you can be ready to implement this curriculum into your class. If a question should arise, you can always call us for answers.
