The class room have load-bearing walls of earth.
The Lintels is a shading device-cum-beam to support the tile roofs.
The rooms are painted either in cool or warm colors' depending on the cardinal direction. There are a number of multipurpose rooms that open onto the gardens that are roofed to provide shade. creepers and plants provide shade in the transitional spaces.
Special glass tiles and ventilator tiles in the roof allow hot air escape and at the same time provide an interesting play of light.

User Feedback
The ventilation inside the classrooms as such is good with airflow being sufficient for comfort These rooms have ceiling fans installed but they are rarely used, as the school is operating only between 8.00 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. In the late afternoon, it becomes a little uncomfortable. There is no problem with daylighting even in the dark monsoon period as enough window and Skylights have been provided. The children have been happy with the building.
