SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPTS AND NEXT STEPS Building Siting/Orientation to maximize solar opportunities and natural ventilation. Building Design: Wall materials/roof Forms/Natural Lighting/Ventilation/Verandas/ Roof Top Solar Sustainable Building Systems: Buildings incorporating natural lighting, natural v entilation, constructed using local materials and hand-built construction techniques. Incorporate Passive Energy Strategies into buildings, including; passive lighting de sign, passive ventilation, thermal mass and shading. - Clerestory lighting allows for maximum ambient light to enter the classroom without the harsh glare and heat caused by direct sunlight. - Situate windows in order to maximize natural ventilation, flushing the hot air out of the classroom with prevailing winds. - Design the ceilings to absorb radiant heat from the metal roof, eliminating unwanted heat gain into the classrooms. - Thermal mass provided by the masonry walls also helps to keep the building cool. Integration of Sustainable Agricultural practices into the curriculum. Outdoor learning gardens will teach sustainable agriculture and nutritional practices, providing opportunities for collaborative interaction extending beyond the classroom walls. Solar Array Field/Power Plant Building Compost/Leech Field/Bio-digester Water Recycling/Rooftop Rainwater Collection: Rainwater is to be collected from the metal roofs of the buildings, directed into a cistern, to be used to irrigate the agricultural fields. Social Sustainability/Community: Actively promote discovery, self-efficiency and strong community relationships. Covered outdoor terraces and courtyards can serve as shaded outdoor classrooms or as play areas, abutting the proposed agricultural fields. Classrooms will be organized around gathering spaces of various scales maximizing flexibility and creating safe outdoor spaces for learning, play and community events. Phasing will allow the school to grow over time as it adapts to the school s future needs. Economic Sustainability SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPTS CONTINUED Safety and Security: Secure and welcoming entry will invite the community into a learning environment where the building is designed to teach in partnership with the school and the village community. Community input drives the design process, ensuring a school that is deeply embedded in the local culture and continued growth of the village. Security walls connect to adjacent buildings with 3 gateway entrances.
