  We present an intermediate-level course on sustainable physics, which
combines lectures and student projects. Sustainable physics concepts are
progressively introduced through both a global and a specialized perspective:
climate change and building design. The lectures and hands-on activities on
both topics show how they share common concepts and provide complementary
points of view. Climate change mitigation and adaptation are touched on via
student group projects, where they are asked to tackle a specific question of
their choosing via reviews of the literature, modeling or experiments.
