From cookers to concrete: Understanding the environmental impact of buildings will engage school children in a web-based game designed to develop their skills in recognising where carbon dioxide is produced in buildings and what they can do to reduce it. The proposed engagement project aims to instil demand for more environmentally benign methods of construction and building use in future generations of construction clients and the public as building users. The work seeks to increase awareness of the potential that marked shifts in design and construction methods (such as the use of innovative construction materials and servicing methods to achieve zero-carbon buildings)) have for maintaining our quality of life in a sustainable manner. It is necessary to inspire future building users to demand the use of new technologies and new practices so that they will become commonplace without need for regulatory mandate. The project will last twelve months and has been designed to coordinate with the school calendar. The project will be evolve over three phases. The initial phase will be the development phase and will involve the educational partners and researchers and the creation of a database; a series of building model animations and a public interface for the game specifically and the project in general. The second phase will be a strategic piloting phase within our partner schools, two at primary level and two at secondary. This phase will involve an iterative process of developing educational material tuned to the specific requirements of the different age groups. The third and final phase will be the implementation of the game and support material within the schools and the dissmenation of the project outcomes. The implementation will be designed to meet the needs of the specific schools and the material will be developed to allow a flexible delivery. The dissemination will be through various media but will culminate in an exhibition to be hosted by the Lighthouse and will showcase the work of the schools.

从炊具到混凝土：“了解建筑物对环境的影响”是一个让学童参与的网上游戏，目的是发展他们认识建筑物内二氧化碳产生的地方，以及如何减少二氧化碳的方法。建议的参与计划旨在向未来的建筑客户和作为建筑物使用者的公众灌输对更环保的建筑和建筑使用方法的需求。这项工作旨在提高人们对设计和施工方法（例如使用创新的建筑材料和服务方法来实现零碳建筑）的显着转变的潜力的认识，以可持续的方式保持我们的生活质量。有必要激励未来的建筑用户要求使用新技术和新做法，以便它们在不需要监管授权的情况下变得普遍。该项目将持续12个月，并已被设计为与学校日历协调。该项目将分三个阶段进行。初始阶段将是开发阶段，将涉及教育合作伙伴和研究人员，并创建一个数据库;一系列建筑模型动画和游戏的公共界面。第二阶段将是在我们的伙伴学校内进行的战略试点阶段，两个在小学，两个在中学。这一阶段将涉及一个反复的过程，即根据不同年龄组的具体要求编写教育材料。第三阶段也是最后阶段将是在学校内实施游戏和辅助材料，并宣传项目成果。实施的设计将满足特定学校的需求，材料的开发将允许灵活交付。传播将通过各种媒体进行，但最终将由灯塔主办一个展览，展示学校的工作。
