The project will enlarge selected school windows to increase daylight, reduce lighting use, and create brighter, healthier classrooms.
This project proposes to improve the school building by installing larger windows in selected classrooms and shared learning areas. The main goal is to reduce electricity consumption by using more natural daylight during the school day. Many classrooms depend on artificial lighting even when daylight is available outside, especially when days are longer than dark day times. By increasing the window area, more sunlight can enter the building, allowing lights to be switched off or used less often. This would help the school save electricity, reduce energy costs, and lower its environmental impact.
The project would begin with a simple daylight and energy assessment to identify the rooms where larger windows would bring the greatest benefit. The school would also need to evaluate technical safety, insulation, overheating risk, glare, and building regulations before implementation. Energy-efficient windows should be used to avoid heat loss during colder months. The expected results are lower electricity use for lighting, improved learning conditions, and greater student awareness of sustainable energy solutions. The project would show how building design can support climate-friendly behaviour and long-term energy savings.
This initiative is based on a youth idea and encourages students to take an active role in improving their school environment. It combines practical energy saving with education about sustainability, renewable thinking, and responsible resource use.
