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. 606 $aSchool buildings$xDesign and construction$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aSustainable buildings$xDesign and construction 606 $aBuildings$xEnvironmental engineering 615 0$aSchool buildings$xDesign and construction$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aSustainable buildings$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aBuildings$xEnvironmental engineering. 676 $a371.68 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960702903321 996 $aGreen schools$92680796 997 $aUNINA
