Architect (Kris Wilson)

Hi, on Wednesday 3rd June, Kris Wilson, an eco-architect, came in and talked to our class about eco arcitecture. Some thing I learnt were:

• Always think about energy usage
• Sustainable- Working in unison with the environment
• Architecture-The art and science of building

Energy

• Small is good
• High level insulation
• Use ventilation to take away moisture in the house
• Use efficient heating and lighting
• Use low flow taps and showers to save water

• The thicker the walls, the thicker the insulation, the warmer the house
• Solar panels help the enviroment
• With light if they are set in the ceiling, the insulation gets cut aruond them so heat escapes
• To be an architect you need to be good at Maths, Distances and Computers.
