About this book

School buildings, and in particular spaces for learning, have environmental requirements that are more demanding and complex than many other types of buildings. Meeting these, often conflicting, design requirements is fundamental to the occupants' sense of well-being and educational attainment. The premise behind this publication is therefore to consider the individual environmental parameters of successful learning spaces and identify the conflicts and interactions that exist when providing an holistic design solution.In producing this Technical Memorandum the aim has been to provide guidance not only for the building services engineer but also other members of the design team, such as architects, contractors, client bodies and users, who have an influence on the design outcomes. Our hope is that simple and clear guidance can help steer the design team and users towards creating places where our teachers, our children, and our community can become inspired.However, this Technical Memorandum alone will not guarantee good school design. A checklist of criteria does not constitute successful design. School designers must also make the effort to visit existing school buildings and study exemplar cases to fully experience the results of the design process, both good and bad.
