Vacation game in Scharndorf: “We’re building a climate house”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year’s KEM vacation game in Scharndorf was all about sustainable and climate-friendly construction. The children were allowed to lend a hand and learned about important building elements for an energy-efficient house in a fun way. <\/p>\n

Simple shoe boxes were turned into creative model houses that were designed with great attention to detail. The aim was to integrate five central elements of a climate house: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • a bright fa\u00e7ade<\/strong>,<\/li>\n
  • Greenery<\/strong> for cooling and a better microclimate,<\/li>\n
  • a photovoltaic system<\/strong> to generate electricity,<\/li>\n
  • Shading<\/strong> by blinds or external venetian blinds,<\/li>\n
  • and good insulation<\/strong> to prevent heat loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The model houses were imaginatively designed using natural materials such as leaves, popsicle sticks or craft cardboard.<\/p>\n

    A special highlight was the “insulation challenge” at the end: after the children had insulated their houses with various materials such as wool, polystyrene or straw, an ice cube was placed in each model house. An ice cube in a glass served as a reference – without any insulation. A thermal imaging camera was used to check how well the houses were insulated. And indeed: while the ice cube in the glass melted quickly, the insulated model houses kept their contents cool for a surprisingly long time. The children were astonished when they opened their houses and discovered almost intact ice cubes inside! <\/p>\n

    The reward was an ice cream and lots of new climate knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
