Abstract Sound is always an important medium for passing on knowledge and skills as well communicating information. Reading accompanies the use of brain in silent reading words, act that transforms textual information into verbal People can “listen” “read” a dark or low light environment. Learning thinking quiet, environment not only conducive to formation innovative thinking, but also inheritance ancient ideas health wisdom. Modern disciplines follow human perception mechanism advocate concepts “Quiet Area” (in soundscape discipline) “Dark Night Sky” lightscape discipline). It accordance with ancients preference learning “quiet, environment”, which consistent law matter origin things. This reflects integration life wisdom modern science.

Impact of classroom environment on student wellbeing in higher education: Review and future directions

Building and Environment, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 265, С. 111958 - 111958

Опубликована: Авг. 13, 2024

Given the emerging concern for student wellbeing in public health discourse, a question arises: What role do campus buildings play shaping overall of students? Following PRISMA guideline, this study reviews current building science literature that explores relationship between higher education learning environments, specifically classroom spaces, and students. Our investigation reveals existing primarily frames terms individual comfort health. While acknowledging importance these aspects, we emphasize desirability embracing wider social collective dimensions from an interdisciplinary perspective. We also advocate departure traditional approach focuses on mitigating adverse environmental effects to one focused net positive human benefits. Encompassing two perspectives, paper presents holistic better understand both individuals communities within educational settings. This comprehensive perspective aims highlight diverse influencing wellbeing, contributing regenerative pathway toward achieving net-positive design sustainability terms.

Characteristics of office lighting energy consumption and its impact on air conditioning energy consumption

Energy and Built Environment, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 5(4), С. 529 - 543

Опубликована: Апрель 7, 2023

The energy consumption of office buildings has increased sharply since the 21st century with increasing urbanization coverage. At this stage, in China mainly comes from air conditioning and lighting. This paper obtains regression equation natural lighting illumination radiant heat gain under different curtain conditions through experiments simulations, gives theoretical calculation process regulation thermal light environment consumption. DeST Ecotect software were used to analyze office. results show that setting curtains room can effectively improve indoor environment, higher transmittance lower consumption, number high temperature hours greater gain. thick lowest for summer, followed by thin curtains, without highest conditioning. artificial lighting, second lowest, electricity accounts main building After office, caused solar radiation entering exterior windows is smaller than Therefore, installation internal shading moderate good insulation performance make saving reach optimal value.

Evaluation of Design Parameters for Daylighting Performance in Secondary School Classrooms Based on Field Measurements and Physical Simulations: A Case Study of Secondary School Classrooms in Guangzhou

Buildings, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(3), С. 637 - 637

Опубликована: Фев. 28, 2024

The quality of natural lighting within secondary school classrooms can significantly affect the physical and mental well-being both teachers students. While numerous studies have explored various aspects daylighting performance its related factors, there is no universal standard for predicting optimizing from a design perspective. In this study, method was developed that combines measurements simulations to enhance parameters associated with performance. This approach facilitates determination precise ranges multiple allows efficient attainment optimal Daylight glare probability (DGP), point-in-time illuminance (PIT), daylight factor (DF), energy consumption were simulated based on existing control operational classrooms. simulation results then validated using field measurements. Genetic algorithms (GAs) employed optimize parameters, yielding set solutions improving differences between indicators corresponding solution those basic model compared test optimized parameters. proposed robust process GAs, which not only enhances but also offers scientifically grounded guidelines phase. It valuable framework creating healthier more productive educational environments

Neuroarchitecture: How the Perception of Our Surroundings Impacts the Brain

Biology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(4), С. 220 - 220

Опубликована: Март 28, 2024

The study of neuroarchitecture is concerned with the significant effects architecture on human behavior, emotions and thought processes. This review explores intricate relationship between brain perceived environments, focusing roles anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) parahippocampal place area (PPA) in processing architectural stimuli. It highlights importance mirror neurons generating empathetic responses to our surroundings discusses how elements like lighting, color, space layout significantly impact emotional cognitive experiences. also presents insights into concept maps spatial navigation, emphasizing role facilitating wayfinding orientation. Additionally, it addresses can be applied enhance learning healing drawing upon principles from Reggio Emilia approach considerations for designing spaces elderly those impairments. Overall, this offers a neuroscientific basis understanding cognition, emotions, well-being are influenced by design.

Indoor Light Environment Factors That Affect the Psychological Satisfaction of Occupants in Office Facilities

Buildings, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(5), С. 1248 - 1248

Опубликована: Апрель 28, 2024

Recently, human well-being has emerged as a pivotal concern that affects not only quality of life but also social and economic dimensions. Lighting in office spaces is crucial for the health cognitive function occupants, various methods are used to assess it. However, there still lack research investigating relationship between lighting satisfaction its key factors diverse spaces. This study focused on light environment, using quantitative qualitative data analysis understand occupants’ influenced by characteristics. According results, occupant was higher environments with illuminance levels exceeding appropriate standard. Furthermore, influx daylight influencing factors, such exposure window size, played significant role enhancing satisfaction. while primary source glare, mitigation solely reliant installations, blinds; architectural designs, including space arrangement, were addressing perception environment varied based work behaviors spatial arrangements, conditions. Therefore, comprehensive approach considers elements, behavior, design essential creating occupants.

Intelligent Classrooms: How AI and IoT Can Reshape Learning Spaces

European Journal of Education, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 60(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 24, 2025

ABSTRACT This review examines the design and configuration of AI‐powered 21st‐century classrooms to align with modern pedagogical approaches. The objective was identify main characteristics innovative classroom through a systematic literature analysing 90 articles from Scopus database. SPAR‐4‐SRL protocol guided selection, organisation assessment articles, analysis conducted using descriptive statistics topic modelling in AtlasTi. Key findings include (a) determinants like acoustics, lighting, temperature, ventilation dimensions impact learning; (b) flexible furniture arrangements promote collaboration active learning over traditional row seating; (c) inclusive designs consider sensory needs students disabilities; (d) technology integration is crucial, including smart boards, cameras connectivity. comprehensive synthesis highlights some insights into effect use Artificial Intelligence Internet Things on architectural principles environmental factors that optimise spaces for evolving educational practices. Educators, designers policymakers can apply these create student‐centred, technology‐enhanced environments fostering engagement inclusivity.
