RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE SELECTION OF MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR A SCHOOL WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE USE OF LOCAL MATERIALS AND MODERN TECHNOLOGIES CORRESPONDING TO CLIMATIC CONDITIONS.

Abstract

The article addresses the issues of sustainable design of educational institutions with an emphasis on the selection of building materials and technologies adapted to climatic conditions. The main attention is paid to the use of local and environmentally safe materials, taking into account their energy efficiency, service life and carbon footprint. A comprehensive analysis of the structural elements of school buildings is presented — from external cladding and window systems to insulation, finishing and ceiling materials. The necessity of applying natural and renewable resources (cork, wood boards, cellulose), as well as technological solutions ensuring durability and minimisation of environmental impact, is substantiated. The proposed recommendations may serve as a basis for shaping a sustainable architectural environment that contributes both to reducing operating costs and to improving the quality of the educational process.
