Since the Ministry of Education started Eco-School Pilot Model in 1997, eco-schools have increased to over 1450 in number. This study clarified the installation status of ecological equipment and the ventilation and natural lighting of classroom planning through an actual survey of seven elementary eco-schools in Tottori. The results are as follows. 1) The main eco-equipment comprises photovoltaic panels, wood interiors, balconies, top-lighting, material reuse, and biotopes. 2) Maintaining natural ventilation and lighting is important in ensuring that classrooms provide a comfortable environment. 3) Open-style classrooms with multipurpose space have issues with deep recesses, but top-lighting helps improve natural lighting.
