Educational space improving learning performance through daylight, air quality and energy-efficient design.
Healthy Classroom Prototype is a concept of an educational space designed to improve learning performance, concentration and overall wellbeing.
The project focuses on daylight, fresh air, indoor comfort and energy-efficient systems to create a healthy environment for students and teachers.
Result: improved learning conditions, better concentration and a healthier indoor environment for students.
Evidence-based approach:
The design is based on the Active House principles and supported by research on how indoor environment affects learning performance.
Studies such as the “Clever Classrooms” research (University of Salford, UK) show that factors like daylight, air quality, temperature and acoustics can significantly influence students’ learning progress.
This project translates these findings into architectural solutions, where key parameters are designed and controlled:
- high levels of natural daylight (with target illuminance above 750–1000 lux in learning zones)
- good indoor air quality ensured through ventilation strategy
- thermal comfort optimized for concentration
- spatial layout supporting focus and reduced stress
As a result, the pavilion creates a learning environment that supports concentration, cognitive performance and overall wellbeing.
The project demonstrates how architecture can move from intuitive design to measurable performance.
Each design decision is based on improving real conditions inside the space. Not only energy efficiency, but also human comfort and learning quality.
