Abstract | ||||
A healthy school building is one that has no negative effects on the environment at large or health of its students and occupants. Creating a cozy and healthy interior space is the main goal of the research, which is quantified by indoor environmental quality (IEQ) Foundations for Healthy educational building. It includes indoor air quality, thermal comfort, ventilation, acoustic performance, and lighting which affect how good an indoor environment is in building. Also, the research will base on LEED Rating System, it will use LEED for Building Design and Construction (BD+C) for schools. The focus will be on basic education schools. Succeed International and local studies have a LEED certificate was selected, analyzed with the climate difference in each study. Methodology was made for designing healthy educational buildings. Case study of a basic education school was selected in Port Said, known for its Mediterranean climate, it was analyzed, conducted a simulation to study lighting in the school’s interior environment and evaluated based on methodology to reach a healthy educational school which enhances health of students and occupants. | ||||
