Abstract/Notes: Halcrow Gilbert Associates were requested to provide energy design advice at the post outline planning stage for a new Montessori School in Berkshire, England. The paper describes the design changes which were adopted in order to achieve both important energy savings and a dramatic improvement in the school's internal environment. The main passive solar features incorporated into the design for the school were a double storey atrium communal area, rooflights to enhance the daylighting of the classrooms and a ridge ventilator driven natural ventilation scheme. The objective was to realise well daylit classrooms whilst keeping heating costs low and minimising the risks of summertime overheating. Measures to prevent overheating included eave overhangs, blinds under the south-facing roof glazing and nighttime ventilation. The paper shows how a range of design tools were used to identify the impact of each design change on energy consumptions and environmental conditions. The paper demonstrates the benefits of sophisticated, yet flexible and fast-response, design tools which enable their users to meet the very short deadlines of a real building project.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this thesis is to provide architects, designers, and teachers with design guidelines they must be aware of when designing for the child's environment necessary to enhance the Montessori method of teaching. This thesis is based on three types of information gathering: 1) the reading and analyzing of books written by Montessori and her followers, 2) interviews and inventories done in six Montessori schools, and 3) existing environment-behavior criteria for early child care environments. The results of this research is analyzed and design guidelines for Montessori schools proposed.
