A study by the USGBC Center for Green Schools and McGraw Hill Research Foundation showed a link between green building strategies and student and teacher performance within green schools. A white paper titled “The Impact of School Buildings on Student Health and Performance: A Call for Research” summarizes existing research and calls for further study on the link. The white paper cites clear evidence that certain aspects of school buildings have an impact on student health and learning. The topics include the impact of natural light, thermal controls, operable windows, and ventilation
