Why Is It Essential to Have Good HVAC in Schools?

Improves Indoor Air Quality

Studies show that one in five children in American schools is exposed to the harmful effects of poor indoor air quality. Excessive dust, bacteria, germs, molds, and other indoor air pollutants could negatively affect your health.

Poor indoor air quality can cause Sick Building Syndrome. Eyes, nose and throat irritation, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, and upper respiratory infections are common symptoms of this condition. You can’t expect sick students and teachers to perform well. Since poor indoor air quality can cause sickness, it also increases absenteeism. 

Eliminates Excess Moisture and Humidity

Bacteria and mold are more likely to grow in places with increased humidity. These harmful microorganisms can affect your indoor air quality. Fortunately, HVAC systems can help eliminate excess moisture in the air. 

Keeping healthy humidity levels indoors can have a positive impact on students and teachers as well. According to studies, students perform mental tasks best in rooms with moderate humidity levels, which range from 40% to 70%, and temperatures between 68 to 74 degrees. Indoor temperature can affect its occupants’ memory, concentration, and learning capabilities. It also plays a significant role in the teachers’ performance and outlook toward work.
