In recent years, in the design of school facilities aimed at saving energy, window design is contrived to realize daylight use. This study aims to reveal the light environment of classrooms with contrived windows, the use of artificial lighting and light shielding devices, and the problems and possibilities of daylight use in school buildings. In two elementary schools, we conducted the measurement and a survey. Additionally, we performed a trial to reduce the amount of artificial lighting with the cooperation of teachers and children.From the results, the design and operation methods required to promote daylight use were summarized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
