The Monte Rosa Mountain Hut

Overall learning objectives:

Gather and display data and interpret it to explain energy transfer and efficiency.

Apply concepts of energy transfer and conservation to building design.

Gather data to monitor effectiveness of solutions and evaluate impact.

Design solutions to meet various characteristics of a brief and judge the extent to which a design solution meets the required brief.

Introduction: The Monte Rosa Mountain Hut


Overall learning outcomes:

To be able to explain scientifically how energy is transferred from a building to the surroundings.

To suggest how energy loss can be prevented.

To investigate this and draw conclusions.

Introduction: The Monte Rosa Mountain Hut


‘A Hut Haven’

Episode 1: The Monte Rosa Mountain Hut


What needs to be considered when designing a structure like the Monte Rosa Mountain Hut?

How would the design of this have to be different from a building in a town?

Why would it need to be well designed in terms of energy?

How are environments like that being damaged through the way that energy is used on a large scale?




A typical house



Energy loss from a house



Convection



Radiation



How could you use these to reduce energy loss from a house?




Models




Designing a model to investigate heat loss



Designing a house



Insulation materials
