Important Steps for Student Health and Performance in School Ventilation

Schools are responsible for providing students with a healthy learning environment. In this context, the importance of ventilation systems is significant. Ventilation problems can affect students' health and performance. In this article, we will address important points to consider regarding ventilation for school administrators.

Student Health:

Ventilation problems can lead to the accumulation of harmful particles, dust, and allergens indoors. This can adversely affect students' health, leading to respiratory illnesses, allergies, and other health issues. As school administrators, it is important to ensure that ventilation systems are regularly inspected, filtration systems are effectively used, and air quality is monitored to facilitate students' learning in a healthy environment.

Student Comfort and Performance:

Inadequate ventilation can cause temperature, humidity, and air circulation problems in classrooms. This can make students feel uncomfortable and distract their attention. Lack of comfort can negatively impact students' learning and performance. As school administrators, it is important to perform regular maintenance on ventilation systems, monitor temperature and humidity levels, and take necessary measures to improve air circulation to enhance student comfort.

Measures and Improvements:

  • Regular maintenance and cleaning of ventilation systems,
  • Effective use of filtration systems and regular replacement of filters,
  • Monitoring air quality and using air purifiers when necessary,
  • Prefer blinds over washable rugs and curtains.
  • Move dusty ornaments, books, and magazines to a different room.
  • Do not allow children prone to allergic reactions to sleep under bunk beds, as allergens can settle on them.

Sercair smart ventilation systems reduce allergens in the home with air purification and filtration technologies. They filter particles such as dust mite feces, reducing allergen levels in the air, thus reducing the risk of allergic reactions and creating a healthy indoor environment.
