ABSTRACT The paper describes the transfer of technology appropriated from the social, economical and environmental point of view in schools at the province of Mendoza (South latitude 32 53’, West longitude 68 51’, semi-arid climate) placed at the Southwest region of Argentina. The main aim of the investigation is to develop technologies which allow the maximum autonomy in terms of heating and lighting of the school buildings trough the use of solar energy. The approach of the research work and fhe connected technological developments is to generate solutions for demands in countries with great inhabitants poverty levels, strong financial shortage and high rates of unsatisfied basic needs of the people living in the rural areas of influence of tfie schools. Even though the results are also meaningful for urban schools buildings and can be extended to other socio-economical conditions like in developed countries. In this paper are analyzed the environmental — energetically aspects related with lighting.
