Innovation Quest for sustainable INSA Campus buildings, media center and restaurant
Our Challenge
Welcome to the sustainable Innovation Quest for the INSA Campus! This challenge invites students to choose between 3 pathways: • Embark on a transformative journey to revolutionize energy consumption practices within the building infrastructure. Tackle the complexities of both old and new buildings to minimize energy waste and optimize efficiency. • Reinvent media centers as hubs of sustainability and environmental consciousness. Reinvent traditional library spaces into eco-friendly, sustainable havens. • Dive into the world of culinary sustainability and innovation. Revamp an existing restaurant to align with eco-friendly practices. Rethink the entire operational framework, from sourcing ingredients to waste management, energy consumption, and customer engagement. Teams will need to create a comprehensive proposal, outlining their strategies, backed by research, cost-benefit analysis, and potential challenges. Presentations should demonstrate creativity, feasibility, and a clear understanding of the environmental impact and business implications. The challenge with the three pathways culminates in presentations where teams will showcase their plans to a panel of experts, highlighting their vision for a sustainable INSA Campus of the future. Participants will have the opportunity to demonstrate their innovative thinking, problem-solving skills, and commitment to sustainability.
