The case for daylight and views in schools 

We spend 90% of our time indoors. This hugely impacts our well-being, performance and health, and educational spaces are not an exception. Our buildings should hence be designed to support best human needs. The use of daylight and views, with careful consideration, can contribute greatly to achieve that goal.

In this webinar, we will look at the evolution of school design practices, and how daylight and views are integrated in today’s design guides and human centric buildings’ standards. We will then go through the scientific evidence supporting the benefits of daylight and views on the well-being, performance and productivity of students and teachers. We will also cover the explanatory physiological and psychological mechanisms responsible of the observed effects. Hopefully, this review can help building further the case for considering thoroughly daylight and views in a standard practice.
