FRESH, CLEAN AIR IN SCHOOLS IS NOT A MATTER OF COURSE
In less than an hour, schoolchildren hit the CO2 wall. They become tired, get head-aches and lack concentration. A poor indoor climate impairs the teacher's working conditions and drastically reduces pupils' ability to learn. Open windows freshen up the atmosphere, but often introduce problems such as noise, traffic fumes, pollen and dust. Not to mention draughts and strong variations from place to place. All this can be avoided with a ventilation plant which controls the supply of outdoor air and the extraction of indoor air.
"Indoor air quality in schools is just as important as teaching methods.
Improving indoor air quality in schools must therefore be given a greater priority.
The benefits in terms of children's ability to learn and their health are clear,
and are guaranteed to give more children a better start in life".
