- Abstract
Green buildings and their use in school settings, as an alternative to traditional buildings, have shown an enormous growth in the last decade. Besides the benefits of green buildings to our environment, it is equally critical to establish a comfortable, healthy, and productive atmosphere withindoors. Green buildings have significantly different classroom environments than conventional buildings in terms of natural ventilation, lighting, overall comfort, acoustics, carbon dioxide concentration, and thermal comfort. In this study, a two-part questionnaire was used to determine the effect of the physical environment of the classroom on university students' comfort, academic performance, and musculoskeletal discomfort in green building. The significance of this study is that it is the first Green Building in Northern Cyprus that physical classroom environment has been evaluated, and previous studies have not examined students' musculoskeletal discomfort in green building classroom environments. A Kruskal-Wallis H test, a post hoc analysis, and a Spearman rank correlation test were applied. The findings indicated that the physical environment of classrooms had a differential effect on academic performance and musculoskeletal discomfort of students across demographic groups, but no effect on student comfort.
