Harm from poor ventilation and increased CO2 levels

Poor ventilation, high temperatures and increased levels of CO2 will affect the performance of both teacher and pupils

Previous studies have found that classrooms are often inadequately ventilated, with the resultant increased risk of negative impacts on the pupils.

Higher levels of CO2 have also been shown to reduce the attention span of pupils and more than likely cause them to lose concentration even affecting their learning ability. Classrooms are frequently more densely populated, and with poor ventilation, levels of CO2 will rise faster. In general, many classrooms exceed the levels of CO2 going beyond set guideline values. In addition, classroom temperatures tended to be much higher in practice than the design assumed.

These research findings could explain unexpected tiredness, or ill health amongst pupils and teachers during the School year. Air Conditioning Solutions (UK) Ltd engineers are mindful of these effects and measure the room sizes affected and calculate the minimum heating, cooling and ventilation requirements for each room.

In a detailed report they their findings and this can be used to allay any concerns shown by parents or staff and form the basis of a proposal to correct any negative findings.
