Sustainability assessment of government school buildings in Portugal
An accepted design feature of passive buildings in the northern hemisphere has been to have small windows facing north and large windows facing the equator, in order to minimize losses on the north side while gaining solar heat on the south. Solar gains and daylight are key passive strategies to improve energy performance without incurring additional construction and operational costs. The purpose of this research was to investigate how sustainable traditional government school buildings that can be found all over Portugal are in terms of more efficient use of energy and materials through design solutions. The selected case study is a typical vernacular located in Covilhã with cold winter and hot summer climate. The findings demonstrated that solar gains reduced the heating load in winter; however, the internal daylight level in the building was insufficient.
