  • Environmental Design Elements
  • Slide 47
  • HVAC The main purposes of a Heating, Ventilation, and Air- Conditioning (HVAC) system are to help maintain good indoor air quality through adequate ventilation with filtration and provide thermal comfort. HVAC systems are among the largest energy consumers in schools. The choice and design of the HVAC system can also affect many other high performance goals, including water consumption (water cooled air conditioning equipment) and acoustics. - EPA (2010)
  • Slide 48
  • Environmental Design Elements HVAC 72 76 degrees Fahrenheit HVAC 30% - 60% humidity Such conditions ensure patron comfort and limit mold growth and damage to books and technology. - MSDEs Facilities Guidelines for Library Media Programs (1998)
  • Slide 49
  • Environmental Design Elements Lighting Reading areas adjustable lighting and/or daylight Computer lower light levels parabolic /projection area louvers or indirect lighting Our design Dimming lights near computer area and in instructional area Brighter lights and windows with electronic shades in reading areas -All lights have control area at entrance/exit. - MSDEs Facilities Guidelines for Library Media Programs (1998)
  • Slide 50
  • Environmental Design Elements Power Requirements Adequate electrical service and outlets should meet the needs of technical infrastructure that supports a variety of activities. Surge protection is needed for computers, peripherals, and communication lines. Built-in surge protection for circuits that support media and technology activities removes the need for multiple surge individual protectors. Adequate number of circuits is necessary to distribute electrical load in all areas, especially in production and computer areas. - IMPACT: Guidelines for North Carolina Media and Technology Programs (2006)
  • Slide 51
  • Environmental Design Elements Technological Specifications Pathways Network Protocols Remote Access Capability Wireless Networking LAN to WAN Video Networking - Onsite Office of Technology Services technician available for consultation, installation and updates ISTE Standards for Students interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media (2.a) communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats (2.b) locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media (3.b) advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology (5.a) understand and use technology systems (6.a) transfer current knowledge to learning of new technologies (6.d) - ISTE NETS (2007)
  • Slide 52
  • Environmental Design Elements Acoustics Excessive noise and reverberation interfere with speech intelligibility, resulting in reduced understanding and therefore reduced learning. In many classrooms in the United States, the speech intelligibility rating is 75 percent or less. That means that, in speech intelligibility tests, listeners with normal hearing can understand only 75 percent of the words read from a list. Acoustics is imperative to ensure students learning. -Acoustical Society of America, Classroom Acoustics (2000).
  • Slide 53
  • Environmental Design Elements Ways to Improve Acoustics Sound-absorbing lay-in ceiling Sloped ceiling Thin carpet on floor Dual panel partition in walls Our Design Sloped ceiling in instructional areas Thin carpet and partition in perimeter walls -Acoustical Society of America, Classroom Acoustics (2000) -Salter (2002)
  • Slide 54
  • Environmental Design Elements Flooring with appropriate maintenance and replacement safeguards, carpet is a highly desirable flooring material for library media centers and offices because of its comfort, noise reduction, and appearance (p. 43). - MSDEs Facilities Guidelines for Library Media Programs (1998)
