Activity: Practical case with AR tool

Q10. You have very old and thin glass in your office. Changing the windows for new low thermal coefficient, high quality, hermetic seal models would cost 2.000€ but you would save 100€ per year in heating and cooling energy costs. If we consider a life of 20 years for the building, what should you do? (Choose ALL the correct answers)

A. Do not change the windows because you will waste money B. Change the windows because even if there is no direct financial profit, at the end of life the value of the building will be higher than with actual windows – CORRECT C. Change the windows because even if ROI is zero you also contribute to reducing your carbon footprint / GHG emissions D. Remember to bring the old windows for recycling – CORRECT

Activity: Practical case with AR tool

This activity will be based on AR (Augmented Reality) tool Assembly and it will consist of the trainees looking for the AR markers to see the information on different reduction measures, while taking notes, to finally introduce the data in an excel file to calculate the possible cost reduction for the company of the associated GHG reduction measures.

Preparation of the activity:

● Select the appropriate or desired markers depending on the working scenario (computers, light bulbs, vehicles, …) available in the Excel File:

TM3_Worskheet 3 ● Print the selected markers and cut out the excess paper. ● Stick (blue-tack or similar) or fix (tape) each marker to the item.

Ask your trainees to download and sign in to the “Assemblr Edu” app from the following link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.assemblr.education

Ask the trainees to scan all the markers they can find in the classroom with the installed app:

Once the AR element of the reduction measure appears on the app, tap on the information dot (blue) to see its associated data (name, cost, energy, daily use), and write it down on paper (or take a screenshot).

Once found and scanned all the reduction measures, ask the trainees to build a new tab/sheet in the excel file made in activity 2, to sum up the values and calculate the cost reduction of implementing the selected GHG reduction measures.

In case of doubt, or problems with the spreadsheet built by the students, use the excel tool TM3_Worksheet 3 (the student has to fill in the cells corresponding to “Data input from Assemblr”
