Natural day lighting should be exploited when designing rooms, to minimise the d

ependence on artificial lighting. Glare must be avoided.

Ventilation should be natural ventilation by means of permanent wall vents
and windows with opening sections. Vents should contain baffles for noise,
wind and rain.
The objective is to provide acoustic conditions in schools that (a) facilitate
clear communication of speech between teacher and student, and between
students, and (b) do not interfere with study activities.
Design Teams should consider the design of landscaping elements to
promote more imaginative play and complement the teaching environment
in their design proposals. External space for planting, weather recording,
sundials etc., should all be explored.
