Poor indoor air quality in schools: Create a healthy learning environment

Introduction

A healthy indoor climate is crucial for learning in Danish schools and institutions. Unfortunately, many schools suffer from poor indoor air quality, which can have serious consequences for both children and adults. Studies show that poor indoor climate in classrooms can negatively impact student performance and overall well-being.

According to a study conducted by Realdania, the children's well-being has deteriorated as a result of the poor indoor climate. You can read more about the study
here. Therefore, it is important to address this and implement solutions that improve the indoor climate in student's classrooms and schools.

The consequences of poor indoor climate

Poor indoor air quality in schools can have a number of negative consequences for students. Reduced concentration, fatigue, headaches and general malaise can make it difficult for students to focus and learn in class. This can result in lower performance and lack of motivation to actively participate in lessons.

In addition, poor air quality and high humidity can lead to allergic reactions, respiratory problems and increased absenteeism among students. Creating an indoor environment that promotes the health and well-being of students is therefore crucial for them to achieve their full potential at school.

Factors that contribute to poor indoor climate 

Insufficient ventilation and poor temperature control are some of the factors that can contribute to poor indoor air quality in schools. Crowded classrooms where air is not properly exchanged can lead to a build-up of CO2 and other pollutants, resulting in poor air quality. This can cause headaches, fatigue and reduced concentration in students.

Furthermore, insufficient ventilation can lead to high humidity, creating an uncomfortable and damp atmosphere that can negatively impact student well-being and learning. Poor temperature control can also be a challenge, as hot and cold environments can disrupt student's focus and learning ability. Therefore, it is important to address these factors and choose solutions that ensure optimal air quality and comfortable temperatures in school classrooms.
