Pratt Ice Box Challenge: Empowering Tomorrow’s High Performance Designers
Pratt Institute and BE-Ex are excited to announce the Ice Box Challenge Exhibit. This innovative challenge highlights the pivotal role of architecture in climate action and emphasizes sustainable building practices.
The Ice Box Challenge, involves comparing the performance of two ice boxes—one built using standard construction methods and the other using high-performance, sustainable building techniques. The goal is to see which box better preserves its ice content over a period of time, visually demonstrating the benefits of energy-efficient design.
