Green architecture in schools and its impact on children's psychological feelings

Today, a new necessity can be felt in architecture; that architecture is not used to meet the functional and behavioral needs of the living environment. The hidden psychological needs, including the need for our bilateral relationship with nature, must also be considered in architecture. The importance of sustainable architecture, as well as green architecture, has increased with the increasing expansion of cities, pollution, and the using up of non-renewable resources. Sustainability means finding some methods that are more coherent socially, more efficient economically, and healthier ecologically for the supply and distribution of existing resources. This research seeks to discover the new dimensions of psychology that green schools can create in children. Green architecture can have a significant impact on children's psychological emotions. It can improve children's social behavior with the increase of positive sense because the current schools are not compatible with children, and this non-compatibility will lead to losing interest in school. The green architecture approach in school design can save energy, reduce the environmental effects, and help to have an effective education by increasing children's attachment to school. According to studies, the average impact of green factors on an increased sense of belonging is ۷۵%. These factors have also affected ۸۴% decrease in mental stress, ۷۶% increase in concentration and learning, ۷۷% increase in Joy and happiness, ۷۹% increase in creativity, ۷۶% increase in stability in space, and ۸۷ % increase in student interactions. Studies have indicated that the use of green factors has increased ۹۰% of physical activities, and its effect on the better physical health of students is ۸۳%.
