Each classroom opens up onto generous communal indoor spaces. In the in-schooling and intermediate levels there are no doors separating the classrooms from these interior ‘streets’ and ‘courts’.

Hadsund School, for children aged 6-16, is designed as three schools in one; in-schooling (6-9 years), intermediate level (9-13 years) and out-schooling (13-16 years). Each age group has its own cluster on an east-west axis along..

An atrium has been implemented, which provides light and natural ventilation. There are two main circulation routes: an internal street space and a circulation space referring back to the playground.

 integrated courtyard which carefully creates layers of space from public to private - The timber frame structure allows a large degree of spatial flexibility, with non-load bearing walls being easily moved to accommodate different activities.

Pupils: 290 The classrooms were computer modelled to create appropriate acoustics and several sustainable methods have been used. A Thermodeck passive ventilation system is installed in which air is circulated through tubular hollow cores in concrete floor deck to provide 100% fresh air to internal spaces. The design of sun-shade awnings along the south sides of the buildings help provide shade and shelter to internal and external spaces.

Notre Dame High School  (Lycée Notre Dame) France - The architects implemented a brise–soleil system across the facade, which reflects light by 40% (approx).

a non-traditional educational environment devoted to vocational learning. - The school is open-plan, with moveable screens that divide space. Most of the classrooms are more like large alcoves than rooms, and are open to two interconnecting atria giving the feeling of space and flexibility.

The building separates the classrooms into three areas containing the separate years. Integrated environmental design: These focus on three different aspects; biology, water and energy. (The curriculum has been altered to accommodate this). There is a large teaching kitchen with a dining space,  Geo-thermal heat and power - A cleaning system is used for the grey water - High levels of natural daylight and natural ventilation are integral to the building - Recycle bins implemented around the school - Recycled bricks used for the toilet pods - Pupils:450 - Construction sum: 29,000,000 USD

A fantastic technical college with an interior ‘high street’ and 6 special reception areas which use exceptional interior design to create subject-specific interiors.

Noise-free ventilation was also a particular challenge for the classrooms - The building’s deep plan means that some spaces are completely internal. Whilst natural light is afforded to these spaces through the generous atriums, full mechanical ventilation is presumably required. The atrium spaces between the teaching blocks also offer learning opportunities for small groups or individuals during lesson time. 

Kargyak is an isolated village situated in the Indian Himalayas in the altitude of 4200 m above sea level and it is one of the last places where the original Tibetan culture still survives. Until recently, there was no school in the village and the children had no other chance but either to leave for distant boarding schools or never to learn to read and write. In September 2009 the Surya Civic Association finished construction of the specially designed “passive” school-building which is heated by sun, works fully ecologically and it’s appearance is also in accordance with local structures.

Le solaire au service du scolaire : 1re réalisation Suneo avec le CFA BTP de Saint-Brevin (44)

Le principe est simple. On installe sur un toit des lanterneaux qui vont éclairer l’intérieur du bâtiment en laissant passer la lumière du soleil. Ce qui réduit les besoins en éclairage, donc la consommation d’électricité. On équipe ces lanterneaux de voiles d’aluminium perforées et orientées au sud, qui vont empêcher l’ensoleillement direct et l’effet de serre. Ce qui réduit les besoins en climatisation, donc la consommation d’électricité. On intègre à ces protections solaires des panneaux photovoltaïques. Ce qui permet de capter l’énergie solaire et de la restituer par le biais d’un onduleur en courant alternatif, donc de produire de d’électricité.  Ce lanterneau « 3 en 1 » cumule ainsi des fonctions HQE. L’éclairage naturel et pas artificiel, la protection solaire pour moins de climatisation le captage de la chaleur restituée en électricité propre et la production d’énergie.

Voûte en demi cylindre sur costière avec panneaux photovoltaïques latéraux, pour l’éclairage zénithal et la production électrique. Voûte filante constituée de profilés de rive, arceaux de voile plein cintre autoportants et cornières en aluminium. Remplissage en polycarbonate plein ou alvéolaire (2 ou 4 parois). Fixation sur costière avec isolant nu ou thermo-soudable de 30 mm d’épaisseur, raidisseurs et équerres de raccordement. Equipée de panneaux photovoltaïques et tôle d’aluminium perforée formant brise-soleil, largement dissocié de la voûte pour éviter l’effet de serre. Destinée au montage sur les toitures terrasse ou cintrées, sèches ou étanchées, sur bac acier ou béton.

Green Building for Schools - From Kindergarten through high school, a typical child spends up to 15,000 hours in the classroom. A survey by the U.S. General Accounting Office estimates that over 46 million students attend schools with unsatisfactory environmental conditions—poor ventilation, toxic materials, and inadequate natural lighting. Green building addresses the environmental issues associated with conventional school buildings.

Almost 500 U.S. college and university presidents have signed pledges to develop comprehensive plans for their institutions to achieve climate neutrality as soon as possible. In the meantime, they are taking tangible actions to reduce greenhouse gases. Student demand has led more universities to develop “green” academic programs and to become more mindful of the environmental effects of their actions, from their food purchases to the way they manage their endowments. (See “Green Groundswell Sweeps U.S. Campuses.”)

Green School Bali, one of the most amazing schools on earth, is giving its students a relevant holistic and green education. This school has the potential to be on the cutting edge of revolutionary education in the 21st century. To experience a blend of classical academic methodologies whilst emphasizing the learning by doing in an environment of sustainable agriculture, minimal carbon footprint buildings & superb architectural expression on one of the most beautiful islands in the world, home of a highly intact culture is for us - a dream come true. L’école se situe dans une perspective internatio­nale : l’enseignement - en anglais - est destiné à un public aux horizons culturels variés, avec la pos­sibilité de vivre sur le campus dès le collège.
