| Summary: | Ever since the first establishment of the public school (primary and secondary
school) in Malaysia, the building design for most of the schools is almost the
same until now. Public school for primary and secondary education is based on a
standard layout designed by the Malaysian Public Works Department. Evolution
of varieties education system employed by the schools does not affect the
physical design of school. The emergence of awareness on sustainability and
promotion towards green way of life has made it crucial for designer to rethink
the best design for school in enhancing its environment that could be the “third
teacher” to the pupils. The research attempt to explore design criteria of green
school in Malaysia based on the critical elements of green initiatives.
Recommendation of green/eco school design will be presented based on site and
building planning, climate and green technology application |
