Pennsylvania School Improves Indoor Air Quality by Installing In-Ceiling Air Purification Systems
Installations lead to cleaner, brighter, quieter environment
Indoor air quality, acoustics and lighting in school buildings affect both students’ ability to learn and the overall health of all building occupants. In addition, poor IAQ leads to higher absenteeism, and poor acoustics are linked to lower test scores.
To ascertain the quality of its indoor environmental quality, the Panther Valley Elementary School in Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania, recently placed AWAIR indoor environmental sensors throughout the school. The sensors measure seven key IEQ factors: temperature, humidity, CO2, volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, noise and light.
