This document contains 21 tutorial questions for a Building Science course focused on topics related to sustainability, climate change, ecosystems, renewable energy sources, green/eco-friendly construction, and vernacular architecture. The questions ask students to write short notes, define key terms, explain concepts, discuss case studies, and differentiate between renewable and non-renewable energy sources. The tutorials are aimed at raising environmental awareness and examining how buildings can be designed and constructed in a sustainable manner that considers their impact on the local ecosystem and climate.
