Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) & Humidity Levels
Students and teachers spend the majority of their school day inside, making indoor air quality, including correct temperature and humidity levels, critical to health and comfort. Without precise humidification management, school facilities that are air conditioned during the summer and heated in the winter are likely to struggle with sub-optimal humidity.
What are the effects?
Continuous exposure to a humidity level below 40%RH will negatively affect the health and comfort of school staff and students. A high absence rate and decrease in productivity are common results.
Reduce the danger of airborne viruses, such as influenza.
There are a number of benefits from maintaining optimal humidity levels in schools, but one important benefit is that a 40-60%RH decreases the danger of airborne viruses, such as influenza, keeping classrooms healthier.
