The aim of the Master’s thesis is to design a kindergarten at the level of project documentation for the building permit. The first part of the thesis contains the architectural and structural design, fire safety design and building physics. The second part of the thesis contains the design of building services. The third part of the thesis focuses on room acoustics in the kindergarten.
The kindergarten is designed on a predominantly flat plot in Olomouc. The building is a single-storey structure with an L-shaped floor plan. The left part consists of Classroom A and its facilities and the right part consists of Classroom B and its facilities. The central section of square floor plan, is located at the junction of the left and right parts. This section houses a technical room, an electrical switch room, staff facilities, storage, a food preparation area, a cleaning room, the director's office, and a speech therapy room. An outdoor toilet and storage of outdoor equipment are accessible directly from the garden. The building is based on a cast-in-place reinforced concrete foundation slab with foam glass. The load–bearing walls is made of sand-lime blocks. The horizontal structures are made of prestressed ceiling panels. Ventilated facade with fibre cement cladding was designed. The building is covered by a flat green roof with photovoltaic panels.
The building is connected to the local district heating system. A heat transfer station equipped with two plate heat exchangers ensures both space heating and domestic hot water preparation. The heat distribution system consists of individual underfloor heating circuits. Ventilation is provided by a mechanical ventilation unit with heat recovery. Two outdoor cooling units will be installed on the roof; one will serve the cooler in the ventilation unit, while the second will provide cooling for two indoor cassette units located in the classrooms. Rainwater from the roof is channeled into accumulation tank with storage capacity. The accumulated water will be used for irrigation, with excess water being regulated and drained into the storm sewer.
The section regarding room acoustics in kindergartens is conceptually divided into two parts. Firstly, experimental measurements of acoustic parameters and reverberation time were carried out in a kindergarten. Sound pressure levels were measured during activities with children in the classroom. Secondly, appropriate acoustic measures for the kindergarten Modřinka were designed.
