This event will celebrate and showcase student work from the Pratt Institute’s Ice Box Challenge. Originating from Brussels, Belgium, the Ice Box Challenge demonstrates the benefits of high energy efficiency Passive House strategies through a public scientific demonstration comparing two ice-filled boxes to see which keeps the heat out better. In the first-ever student-led initiative in the US, Pratt Institute students raised awareness about the role of high-performance buildings in reducing energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and combating climate change. Join us to celebrate their work and hear from experts in the field.
