(Earthman, 2004) Facilities can achieve 25% - 50% of energy savings using displacement ventilation important features quality HVAC system smart material selection Low VOC moisture & mold control effective cleaning low maintenance

18 sustainable / acoustics research links acoustics to good performance design material selection why noise is a problem students miss critical information stoppages in lesson time adapt to chronic noise by filtering out irrelevant and relevant noise the level of classroom noise and reverberation linked to reading and spelling ability, behavior, attention, concentration, and achievement (nabelek & nabelek, 1994)
