Title: CAE Classroom Design for Student Achievement
Type: Presentation
Size: 13915136
Description: Presentation by AIA CAE Knowledge Community members at the AASA Summer Leadership Institute 2008 in St. Louis, MO. Learning is most effective in an environment which encourages interaction between the learner and the teacher, and between fellow learners, as well as providing a healthy space for all occupants. Creating this kind of environment requires a skilled design team that understands the best practices of teaching and learning. In addition to facility design, designers can work with the owner to shape space appropriate for the variety of activities that occur during the school day. This panel for this presentation was composed of architects committed to creating effective learning environments. They shared their insights regarding design intent, classroom functionality and building attributes for effective learning environments.

Sustainability - Environmental

Sustainability - Environmental

An increasingly prioritized feature, as clients are beginning not

just to understand the value of environmentally conscious

design, but to demand it.

    Average Life of a US Building: 75 Years

Buildings consume US electrical power at an amazing rate!

Over the next 20 years, if unchecked, we?ll need more than 1 new plant per week. . .

Slide 35

Why go ?green??

§It will Ultimately Save Money

    Energy (33% less)

§Improved Student/Staff Motivation

    Teacher Retention

    Employment Impact

§Buildings are the #1 Contributor to Greenhouse Gas Emissions

    And the US is responsible for about 25% !

Combining the annual energy required to operate residential, commercial, and industrial buildings along with the embodied energy of industry-produced building materials like carpet, tile, glass, and concrete exposes buildings as the largest energy consuming and greenhouse gas emitting sector.
