Improving Student Performance and Health at a Price Schools Can Afford

This document discusses evidence rJgaidi:G daylighting and student performance and development, and presents four case studies of schools that have cost effectively implemented daylighting into their buildings. Case studies reveal that design and construction strategies that incorporate daylighting do not significantly increase costs over conventionally designed schools. Students do benefit in increased performance and general health when school designs incorporate daylighting in the schools. Design tips are included as are resources for information on daylighting and other renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies for schools. (Contains 27 references.)
