SCHOOL MODERNIZATION IN PORTUGAL:

TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE MODEL OF INTERVENTION

DEFINING SCHOOL SUSTAINABILITY

SUSTAINABILITY guiding strategy

encourage education authorities to restore school suitability and efficiency

comprehensive and cost-effective long-term decisions

suitable and stimulating environments

comfortable working conditions

school community participation

ES de Ponte de Sôr – ARQ Work, Arq. Fernando Ribeiro (2008)



KEY FEATURES AND DESIGN PRINCIPLES APPLIED TO ENFORCE SUSTAINABILITY

a successful school site is one that can be used 365 days a year

flexibility of the school layout

robustness of the construction materials, fixed furniture and fittings

energy efficient measures

low cost solutions and simplified operational mechanisms

school community engagement

ES Rodrigues de Freitas



SPATIAL FLEXIBILITY

diversity of learning and non-learning areas easily reconverted to different uses

ES Soares dos Reis



two interconnected

structural rings

shallow ring connects all

the school spaces

available to the community

after school hours

deep ring intertwines the

teaching core with

teachers’ workspaces

the two rings intersect in

the informal learning core

space

SPATIAL FLEXIBILITY



ES Pedro Alexandrino – Arq. Júlio Quirino (2008)

SPATIAL FLEXIBILITY



continuous usage throughout a day

(an average of 1000 users/day)

great wear due to the profile of users

careless use

(weak accountability for any caused damage)

RESISTANCE TO USE

EASY MAINTENANCE

ECOLOGICALLY CLEAN

ES Soares dos Reis



school grounds and landscape design solutions

low-cost maintenance

native plants

new plantings or replacements should consider

orientation and surrounding conditions:

• north side of a building versus a southern

exposure

• proximity to solar heat gain from surrounding

pavement and/or building façade

• shady versus sunny conditions

• exposure to severe winter winds

ES Vergílio Ferreira – Atelier Central (2008)

RESISTANCE TO USE

EASY MAINTENANCE

ECOLOGICALLY CLEAN



reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emissions as well as energy consumption

ES Rainha D. Amélia – GB Arquitectos (2008)

THE INTEGRATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENT MEASURES



lowering embodied energy


ES D. Dinis



natural lighting and ventilation


ES Pedro Nunes



solar shades


ES Pedro Alexandrino



thermal insulation


ES Rocha Peixoto



thermal mass


ES Pedro AlexandrinoES Rocha Peixoto

THE INTEGRATION OF HIGH EFFICIENCY SOLUTIONS

AND EASILY OPERATED MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SERVICES



thermal solar collectors

ES Soares dos Reis





photovoltaic systems in the future






natural ventilation whenever possible

high efficiency HVAC, mechanical and lighting systems








decentralized central heating and air conditioning

heat recovery ventilation systems

ES Rodrigues de Freitas







high efficiency luminaries up to10W/m2 for 500 lux

lighting and occupation sensors

ES Aurélia de SousaES Rainha D. Amélia







low-flow water fixtures in the toilets

drip irrigation systems instead conventional sprinklers

capturing rainwater in cisterns and rain barrels for school gardens

ES D. Dinis

training and support - skill teachers and other school staff - use and management of school

facilities.

students’ activities focused on school suitability and efficiency.

workshops with school designers and low energy building experts.

classroom discussions for a more sustainable school environment .



THE ENGAGEMENT OF THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY

205 SCHOOLS | 4 PHASES | 247.500 STUDENTS | EUR 2.45 BN.



pilot march 2007 4 schools 5.500 students euros 62 million

phase 1 june 2007 26 schools 32.000 students euros 330 million

phase 2 march 2008 75 schools 90.000 students euros 860 million

phase 3 april 2009 100 schools 120.000 students euros 1.206 million



knowledge under construction

reduced times - planning, design and construction

difficulty in attaining learned lessons in time

involvement of different actors and “clients”

new national legislation - air quality, acoustics, safety conditions and energetic efficiency

A COLLECTIVE LEARNING PROCESS PARQUE ESCOLAR + THE DESIGN TEAMS + SCHOOLS
