Outline• Overview of standard ESD inclusions
• Outline of the Comfort Conditions project
• Results of ESD trials
• Tour sites
Education Facilities Research Group
Energy Conservation
• Orientation• Insulation
(wall/roof)• Passive
ventilation: windows, roof ventilators
• Light strips• Blinds
• Timers: lights, heating
• Lamp selection• Standard details• Ceiling fans• Landscaping
Education Facilities Research Group
Indoor Air Quality
• Low to nil VOC content paints• Tung oil finish for timber flooring• Wool carpets• Move towards linoleum• Water based adhesives• Use of ‘Forbo Krommenie’ pinboard• Termite barriers and termite resistant
materials
Education Facilities Research Group
Water Conservation
• Low flow controllers• Dual flushing cisterns• Push button release taps and bubblers• Native and drought tolerant
landscaping• Water tanks (selected sites)• Dams (selected sites)• Grey water reuse (selected sites)
Education Facilities Research Group
Comfort Condition Project
• To establish:– the overall performance of the latest
school designs
– the impact of variations in design
– the performance of specific ESD initiatives
– the level of use of features to improve comfort conditions
Education Facilities Research Group
Parameters
• The school day is 9am to 3pm
• Concerned with comfort conditions in the
‘occupied’ zone of a room
Education Facilities Research Group
Findings• The hottest part of the day occurs outside
school hours• The external, under eave location is the
hottest during the day (Hot Day)• The external, under eave location is the
coolest during the night (Hot Day)• The rooms do not cool down to the level of
the external, ambient temperature• Loggers on the southern and eastern walls
(internal) record higher temperatures (February)

BUILT 1996, FINAL EVALUATION 2004a) Worked Well• Livos nil VOC content paints
(internal)• Tung oil finish• Water based adhesives – have not
failed• Pinboards (Forbo Krommenie)• Note: many inclusions were/are now
standard – have performed well

b) Worked not so well• Many of the external elements have
not performed up to expectations. This has either been the product or it was unsuitable in the school context– Use of native grasses– Stormwater reuse– On-site aerated sewerage treatment– Underground drip irrigation
Education Facilities Research Group
Tour Sites – Camden HS
• Extensive ESD initiatives incorporated:– Most dominant feature is the use of
solar chimneys– Material selection: timber screens,
brick internal walls for thermal mass– Collection of water runoff into a dam

Tour Sites –Newington PS
• These facilities incorporate extensive ESD initiatives:– Extensive use of solar panels– Passive ventilation through a louvre
system– Use of ‘Ecotech’ for roofing– Material selections
