Get the comprehensive guide to the sustainable design of
schools.
The elementary and secondary school buildings and campuses built
today are the schools of the future. Sustainable School
Architecture is a guide to the planning, architecture, and design
of schools that are healthy, stimulating, and will conserve energy
and resources. Written with the needs of architects, construction
professionals, educators, and school administration in mind, the
book provides a road map for sustainable planning, design,
construction, and operations.
By its very nature, a school is often the centerpiece of its
community and, therefore, well positioned to take the lead in
influencing environmental awareness. Building on this point,
Sustainable School Architecture shows how eco-friendly practices
for school construction can create an environment that young
students will emulate and carry into the world. Written by experts
on sustainable school design, this book:
Focuses on the links between best sustainable practices and the
specific needs of educational institutions.
Has nineteen international case studies of the best contemporary
sustainable schools located in urban, suburban, and rural
communities in temperate, tropical, and extreme climate
zones.
Contains valuable information on the California Collaborative for
High Performance Schools CHPS and the Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design LEED? rating system.
Serves as a resource for incremental modernization and operation
strategies as well as comprehensive transformation.
Offers tips on running an integrated, community-based design
process with support information on the materials and systems of
the sustainable school.
Includes contributions by experts on approaches to the sites,
systems, maintenance, and operation of sustainable schools.
With a practical overview of how sustainability can be achieved in
new and existing schools, and how to maintain this momentum in the
years ahead, this important book provides architects with detailed
guidance for designing healthier learning environments to help
usher in a more promising future.
