Currently, the traditional housing product design education model has problems such as the disconnection between theory and practice and the insufficient cultivation of students’ innovative thinking. Green building concept, as an important part of sustainable development, has been increasingly emphasized in the field of architectural design. STEAM education, with its interdisciplinary integration and practice-oriented features, provides a new path for housing product design education reform. Based on the concept of STEAM education, this study explores the practice path of green building concepts in housing product design education. Methodologically, a controlled experimental design was adopted, two parallel classes with a total of 100 students were selected, the experimental class adopted the teaching mode of integrating STEAM education, and the control class adopted the traditional teaching mode, and through a three-month teaching practice, evaluation and analysis were carried out in four dimensions, namely, classroom time interest, professional core literacy, innovation and practice ability, and quality of works. The results show that the degree of interest in class time of students in the experimental class is significantly higher than that of the control class, with an average score of 37.051 versus 33.162; in the evaluation of professional core literacy, the average score of the experimental class is 12.623, which is significantly higher than that of the control class, which is 10.509; in the evaluation of the quality of the works, the proportion of excellent and good in the experimental class’s work1 reaches 80%, while the control class only has 40%; the ability of innovative practice The comprehensive evaluation shows that the total score of the posttest of the experimental class is 39.322, which is significantly higher than that of the pre-test 36.43. The conclusion shows that the green building housing product design teaching mode based on STEAM education concept can effectively enhance students’ learning interest, professionalism and innovative practice ability, and provides a feasible practical path for housing product design education reform.
