In today’s educational environment, the health and safety of students and staff is paramount. With rising concerns over diseases like measles making headlines, and vaccine rates fluctuating, it's crucial for schools to prioritise measures that keep everyone safe. One of the most effective ways to combat the spread of airborne illnesses is through improved ventilation in classrooms.
Ventilation benefits
Good ventilation plays a key role in maintaining a healthy classroom environment. High levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and stagnant air can lead to an array of issues, including decreased focus and increased fatigue among students. More importantly, poor air quality can facilitate the spread of airborne illnesses.
The Ministries of Health and Education have emphasised the need for schools to prioritise air quality, reminding educators and administrators of their responsibility to create safe learning environments. However, knowing how to assess and improve classroom air quality can be challenging.
AirSuite
Luckily, analysing the air quality of a building has become quite simple with technology like our partner, AirSuite. AirSuite sensors measure multiple different aspects of the air within your building, allowing you to make educated decisions for your students, employees, and team members. With AirSuite, you can easily identify when your classrooms need a fresh air boost, ensuring that students and staff are breathing clean, healthy air.
What AirSuite Measures and Why
CO2 levels are very important as high CO2 indicates low airflow, creating a welcome space for the spread of airborne diseases, along with causing drowsiness, impaired concentration, and poor decision making. AirSuite also measures humidity, which is important in reducing cold/flu symptoms and mold growth, and temperature in order to help the immune system.
The sensors also capture volatile organic compounds that can cause skin and respiratory irritation, light and sound levels to prevent discomfort and distraction, and smart occupancy to help you with space utilisation. AirSuite monitors can be customised to measure particulates that indicate pollution, with a RESET viral index included. You can read more here What AirSuite Measures and Why.
