Innovative Design:
An architectural firm who specializes in advancing energy-efficient, sustainable building design provides a research study on Daylighting in Schools.
The
study analyzes the energy performance and cost of daylit schools designed
by Innovative Design in Johnston County, North Carolina. The analysis
compares the first-year energy performances of the Clayton and Selma Middle
Schools and the K-5 Four Oaks School with similar but non-daylit schools
in the County. The two daylit middle schools were completed in the spring
of 1993 and the comparison year was July of 1993 through June of 1994.
The Four Oaks School was completed in August of 1990 and the first year
of collected data was 1991-92.
