| Abstract: | The Wallasey School is recognized as an important building in the development of passive solar gain technology. This work reports an analysis of the lighting of the solar block of the school. A comprehensive photometric survey describes the visual environment of the school in both quantitative and qualitative terms. The results are compared with both statutory legislation and predictions using tools available to the original designers. Some general conclusions are drawn which emphasize the importance of visual aspects within the total design of passive solar technology buildings. |
