Résumé

Conventional wisdom says that schools are quite capable of being naturally ventilated. Official design guidance has long promoted this belief while frowning heavily on mechanical ventilation, which is assumed to cost more and be less energy efficient. The tide may be about to turn. Researchers are finding that indoor air quality can be very poor in schools where the windows stay shut. Designers, too, are questioning guidance that asks for school children to receive less fresh air than an office worker. Add to this vastly improved mechanical heat recovery techniques, and the argument for rewriting the rulebook is becoming difficult to ignore.
