So, What Are We Waiting For?

2. Better Classroom Ventilation
Better Attendance means more learning and more dollars
Better Student Health
California Study of 168 Classrooms1
Increasing classroom VRs from the California average (8.5 cfm per person) to the State standard of 15 cfm would decrease Illness Absences by 3.4%
Texas Study of 120 Classrooms2
Median CO2 levels were 28% higher than ASHRAE limit
Washington & Idaho Study of 434 Classrooms3
A 1000 PPM increase in CO2 was associated with a 10% - 20% increase in student absence
School funding often depends on daily attendance, so better attendance may often pay for ventilation upgrades.

3. Better ventilation Better occupant performance
Better Ventilation means Better Performance
Better occupant performance
Harvard Study4
On average, a 400 ppm increase in CO2 was associated with a 21% decrease in cognitive function scores
70-school Study in Southwestern US5
Students’ mean mathematics scores were increased by 0.5% per cfm/person increase in ventilation rate within the range of 2 – 15 cfm
54-school Study across USA6
Math and Reading scores were 14% higher when VRs were greater than 10 cfm/student compared to scores when VRs were less than 5 cfm/student
We are handicapping our students…

4. So, Why are most classrooms under-ventilated?
Classic Rooftop HVAC Units (RTUs) Only Ventilate When Heating or Cooling
RTU Dampers Are Not Working Properly
Just Too Noisy Outside to Open Windows
Too Much of a Hassle to Open and Close Windows
Answer:
Separate Ventilation From Heating and Cooling
