Abstract

In elementary school, the classroom is a living space for students and an important place of education that has a physical and mental impact. Among environmental factors such as light, heat, air, and sound that affect students in classrooms, the light have a significant impact on the learning effectiveness and physical and psychological development processes of elementary school students. So, it is very important to maintain an appropriate lighting level in elementary school classrooms. For the study, four elementary schools located in Gyeonggi Province were selected, and then, the illumination levels to play a critical role of maintaining the light environment in elementary school classrooms were measured, and a survey on lighting satisfaction for students and teachers in the classroom was conducted. The first step of the research is to examine the lighting theories for school classroom through literature study. The second step is to analyze the lighting measurements of each school classroom. The third step is to analyze and evaluate the survey results on lighting satisfaction of students and teachers. The measured illumination levels showed that four elementary schools had two or five times higher lighting distribution than recommended illumination level of 300-400-600 Lux. The survey results on lighting condition in classrooms showed very high satisfaction of 72.4% to 100%, and in a survey on glare, 0% to 22.9% of the respondents said they had experienced glare. However, direct sunlight entering the classroom resulted in visual imbalance in the classroom. Therefore, the shading devices such as louvers, and light shelves should be installed to control excessive inflow of natural light, and the inflow of natural light must be considered when designing artificial lighting levels.
