Appropriate lighting improves test scores, reduces off-task behavior and plays a significant role in students\u2019 achievement. A study by Alberta Education, titled \u201cA Study into the Effects of Light on Children of Elementary School Age,\u201d has proven that students with the most classroom daylight progressed faster in one year on math tests and reading tests than those students who learned in environments that received the least amount of natural light.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Details: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/webspm.com\/articles\/2012\/05\/01\/acoustics-and-daylighting.aspx\">Acoustics and Daylighting<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Having enough light in the classroom to read and study does not guarantee that there is sufficient light to stimulate our biological clocks. Most schools typically do not provide adequate electric light or daylight to fully stimulate the circadian system. However, if designers provide sufficient daylight, which contains ample, short-wave- length (blue) light in classrooms, school buildings will be able to provide more circadian stimulation and therefore, better support for circadian entrainment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find<\/strong> <strong>out<\/strong> <strong>more:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lrc.rpi.edu\/programs\/daylighting\/pdf\/DaylightingPatternBook_Final.pdf\">Patterns to Daylight Schools for People and Sustainability<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/homeshows.com.au\/perth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-04-at-2.16.22-pm.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13158 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/homeshows.com.au\/perth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-04-at-2.16.22-pm.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"279\" height=\"242\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was found that the students with the most daylight in their classrooms progressed 20% faster on math tests and 26% faster on reading tests in one year than those with the least.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Details:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/eneref.org\/report-details\/classrooms-optimized-with-natural-daylight-increase-student-performance\/\">Classrooms Optimized with Natural Daylight Increase Student Performance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent research conducted by Professor Peter Barrett and his team of school design experts at the University of Salford, UK, showed clear evidence that well-designed primary schools can substantially boost children\u2019s academic performance in reading, writing, and math.
