Universities and schools

Better learning achievements and lower sickness absence is required for productive schools and universities.  The most important factor for creating a healthy indoor climate is the fresh air inside the premises. Thus, choosing the right air filter becomes a crucial decision for a school and university.

In approximately 80% of primary schools the indoor climate is seriously flawed, this is as per studies conducted in schools across Europe and US. Good air quality leads to 24% decrease in sickness absence and a 25% increase in learning achievements as per international studies.

In a small place such as a classroom lot of children (and teacher) come together and spent relatively higher amounts of time together. Thus, a classroom becomes a challenging environment to produce a healthy indoor climate. Children between the ages of 8 and 18 lags behind in growth of long-term capacity when they are exposed to high substance concentrations. Children may develop asthma, allergies and other bronchitis related diseases due to exposure to poor air quality. We know that in a classroom at least two or three children may have air borne diseases like cough or cold. The air needs to be filtered for better air purity and these children can benefit a lot from cleaner air. The classroom needs to be supplied with continuous clean air which becomes the ultimate solution. The selection and application of right particulate and energy-efficient air filter becomes crucial in creating a healthy indoor climate. Regular HVAC maintenance is also required for improving occupant health and performance.

Carbon / chemical filters can be used for laboratory exhaust of research and development centres in universities, in chemistry labs of schools. These carbon filters can be used for arresting odor, smell and pungent gases from the labs.
