High-tech engineering systems were incorporated into the facility for indoor air quality monitoring, year-round cooling, reliable electric power sources and energy efficient systems, and a natural daylighting climate wall. In a 1999 study conducted in Seattle, Washington, and Fort Collins, Colorado, students in classrooms with the most daylighting were found to have 7 to 18 percent higher test scores than those in classrooms with the least daylighting. The chapter dealing with geotechnical applications could have been more detailed; the authors include analysis of simple wedge failure, the friction cone solution and some simple analysis of daylighting conditions, but there is no mention of the mechanical basis of these methods. |
