We know that the indoor climate affects productivity, the ability to think strategically and the overall well-being of occupants. Hence, it is extremely important to strive for a good indoor climate in schools. However, it is a complex task to deliver a quality indoor climate as noise disturbance has to be minimized, air quality has to be ensured, comfortable temperatures and healthy levels of relative humidity as well. All of these, and even more, add up to what we refer to as indoor environmental quality (IEQ).
Taking noticeable steps to create healthy and comfortable indoor environments almost inevitably leads to significant improvements in energy efficiency as well. However, school facilities are often utilized as little as 30% of the day, further improvements in energy use can easily be made with a demand-controlled indoor climate system, like our Swegon WISE.
