Abstract

Technical schools are attached to universities as Tertiary centers for students to study and get access to facilities and environment that will lead to better performance. Nevertheless, the increasing demand for healthier as well as a more energy saving buildings have placed greater emphasis on the supply of daylight and ventilation for task performance in Schools. This paper evaluates the impact of joint daylighting and ventilation strategies on students’ performance and well-being. A mix method approach was used for this learning using interview, case studies and observational checklists. Three institutional buildings were examined in order to gain insight on the subject matter as it is already applied to life situations. Interviews were also conducted for proper investigation of the topic. Findings reveal that for there to be effective daylighting and ventilation through the use of windows in the Technical Schools, the placement, orientation, shading devices, material size, height and the surrounding environment must be given adequate consideration. Also, the courtyard was found to be the most effective means of increasing the number of windows. The study concluded that effective daylighting strategies in school require the designers to consider daylighting right from the conceptual development of the design stage so that they can effectively harness as much natural light as required into the building as it is the most preferred light for task performance and means of reducing energy consumption in school buildings.
