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.School buildingsDesign and constructionEnvironmental aspectsSustainable buildingsDesign and constructionBuildingsEnvironmental engineeringSchool buildingsDesign and constructionEnvironmental aspects.Sustainable buildingsDesign and construction.BuildingsEnvironmental engineering.371.68MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960702903321Green schools2680796UNINA
