Schools for the future: design of sustainable schools, case studies - Softcover
This publication contains 12 case studies of sustainable school building design, with practical examples of primary and secondary schools around the country that have addressed the environmental challenges of sustainable development to deliver school buildings that use less energy and water, that minimise waste and avoid the use of pollutants, that protect and enhance habitats for plants and wildlife, and that meet wider community needs. This guide is designed to be accessible to the whole school community, but it is aimed particularly at professionals such as designers and local authority clients. It also addresses the refurbishment of existing schools as many sustainability techniques used in the design of new schools can be applied to existing schools, and vice versa.. More information on DfES policies relating to sustainable development can be found at: http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/sustainableschools and at http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/sustainabledesign

Synopsis:
This guide, "Schools for the Future: Design of Sustainable Schools - Case Studies", is designed to be accessible to the whole school community. It is particularly aimed at expert professionals such as designers and local authority clients. It addresses refurbishment of existing schools as many sustainability techniques used in the design of new schools can be applied to existing schools and vice versa. This volume of case studies concentrates primarily on schools which have tackled environmental aspects of sustainability. The schools include various features which allow schools to be constructed and operated in ways that do not damage the environment. The publication is structured in three parts: emerging themes highlights those messages that were consistently identified at a number of the schools investigated; detailed case studies of twelve schools; and a brief description of the main tools that support sustainable design, many of which have been applied to the case study schools.
