High Performance School Case Study:.
E N D
High Performance School Case Study: Open plan of the building and day lighting conditions are the initial emphasis. In a typical classroom with the light monitors located in the center, meter readings averaged approximately 55fcs. Interior light sensors keep the classrooms at a balance point by automating the overhead fluorescent lighting. Motion sensors turn off the lights when rooms are not occupied. Shading strategies include aluminum shielded light shelves and angled reflectors on the exterior niche of each concave window location.Design strategies include rain water reclamation and some active solar panels. Storm water runoff collected from the roof to an exterior niche of each concave window location.Design strategies include rain water reclamation and some active solar panels. Storm water runoff collected from the roof to an exterior underground tank to be filtered and used for sinks and water closets. Active solar collectors are strategically placed on some of the light monitors. Solar tubes are used for reclamation of hot water for hand washing use in the cafeteria. Photovoltaic collectors activate the night lighting system at the exterior porticos. Architect’s Statement Design Constraints R.D. and Euzelle P.
