Ventilation Rates in Schools and Children’s Learning Performance Zsolt Bakó-Biró School of Construction Management and Engineering

Research Team Prof. Derek Clements-Croom (SCME, University of Reading) Dr. Hazim Awbi (SCME, University of Reading) Dr. Marylin Williams (School of Psychology, University of Reading) Dr. David Coley (Centre for Energy & Environment, University of Exeter) Dr. Neena Kochhar (SCME, University of Reading) Dr. Zsolt Bakó-Biró (SCME, University of Reading)

Objectives To extend our knowledge about IAQ and typical ventilation rates in school environments To determine a direct relationship between IAQ and pupils’ learning performance.

Methods School selection: 20 primary schools in Reading & Exeter Targeted age group: 9-11 years old children Measurements: objective & subjective evaluations (repeated design) (2-3 weeks / school for 2 years) Intervention: to increase the ventilation rates above 8 L/s per person

Physical measurements Continuous monitoring Spot measurements: Noise level Ozone level (Indoors/Outdoors) Air change rate (SF6), TVOC, Selected VOCs Air temperature & Relative Humidity (RH) Globe temperature Air velocity Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) Airborne particles (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) Lighting

Pupils’ Performance Tests Computerised Assessment Tests (CAT) (attention, concentration and memory) Pen and Paper (school based) performance activities 24 pupils/classroom groups of 6-8 people

CAT - battery 1. Simple Reaction Time 2. Choice Reaction Time 3. Colour Word Vigilance 4. Digit classification 5. Digit-symbol matching 6. Reaction time - addition 7. Digit span memory 8. Picture recall memory 9. Verbal Reasoning 10. Words recognition Attention / vigilance Perceptual speed Speed of mental arithmetic Working memoryLanguage based

CAT battery Simple Reaction Time Simple Reaction Time: 16 signals / minute. Randomized intervals between 2 – 5 seconds

Choice Reaction Time: CAT battery 16 signals / minute. Randomized intervals between 2 – 5 seconds

Colour Word Vigilance Test response is required only to a minority of the signals Red Yellow Blue White Red Yellow Blue White CAT battery 30 signals / minute at constant intervals Random distribution within each sequence of 16 stimuli

Pen and Paper (school based) Activities Math based : Addition : 26 +or Subtraction : 86 -or Multiplication: 8 x 264 Number comparison: False x x

Pen and Paper (school based) Activities Language-based: Logical reasoning : StatementTrueFalse AB A does not precede B x BA B is followed by A x

Outcomes To recommend suitable ventilation rates for classrooms. To examine the suitability of the air quality guidelines for classrooms based on the results obtained To develop a website displaying the main research findings.
