Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence has accumulated that shows that the quality of indoor environments can affect the health and productivity of adults and children. One consequence is that a movement has emerged to promote the design of schools that have fewer adverse environmental effects. To examine the potential of such design for improving education, several private organizations asked the NRC to review and assess the health and productivity benefits of green schools. This report provides an analysis of the complexity of making such a determination; and an assessment of the potential human health and performance benefits of improvements in the building envelope, indoor air quality, lighting, and acoustical quality. The report also presents an assessment of the overall building condition and student achievement, and offers an analysis of and recommendations for planning and maintaining green schools including research considerations.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This standard guide provides guidelines for designing adequate lighting systems for educational facilities. Through research and field practice, the guide indicates ways in which the optimum visual environment for both student and instructor can be achieved. The principles show that when lighting is effectively used, it can attract and hold attention, stimulate learning and influence behavior in a positive way.

This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermal comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ) issues have gained significant interest in the scientific and technical community involved in building performance analysis and other related subjects. In terms of thermal comfort, the achievement and maintenance of a thermally acceptable indoor environment is affected by energy costs, and energy poverty is a widespread problem globally. There is a call for energy-efficient architecture for a developed and sustainable world. However, with the use of renewable energy that increased considerably in recent years, new technical challenges arose for the energy sector. Consumers are key players in this context, as flexibility in demand is crucial to cope with the intermittent nature of most renewable energy sources. Active demand-side participation is particularly important to ensure the efficient use of locally and globally available energy. Sustainability, human comfort, and healthy living environments have become top priorities. Advancements in Sustainable Architecture and Energy Efficiency explores how housing is a key health factor for individuals and looks at factors such as air quality, ventilation, hygrothermal comfort, lighting, physical environment, building efficiency, and other areas as important pieces in healthy architecture. It discusses how the poor application of these parameters can directly affect human health and how sustainable architecture provides a solution. Beyond just labeling the important facets of architecture for healthy living, this book will look at different perspectives of energy consumption and demand to ensure sustainable energy, increased energy efficiency, improved energy policies, and reasonable energy costs for homes. This book is ideal for architects, designers, engineers, energy engineers, environmental scientists, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in architecture that is both conducive to healthy living and energy efficiency.

Download or read book Lighting for Education written by Ernest Wotton and published by Ont. Ministry of Education, Ministry of Colleges and Universities. This book was released on 1981 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the qualities and quantities that must be juggled to produce good lighting for educational facilities are analyzed with photographs, tables, and drawings. The three categories of lamps used for school lighting (incandescent, fluorescent, and high intensity discharge) are described; a lamp selection guide gives the design characteristics of lamps in each category. The effectiveness of windows, the advantages and disadvantages of windowless schools, and screening devices for controlling glare and sunlight are discussed along with aspects of daylighting design for new schools. Scientific findings applicable to light in schools are summarized. Considerations met by the provision of manual switching, time, photoelectric, and other light controls are described. Guidelines are offered for appraising an existing lighting system. Related improvement procedures are categorized as those that require no capital investment, those with a short pay-back period, and those with a long pay-back period. Exterior lighting and forecasts of lighting in the year 2000 conclude the booklist. A glossary is provided and the appendices contain drawings and descriptions of the principal lamp types used, as well as two statements from official sources concerning the effects of ultraviolet radiation.
