Keeping Students Healthy: How High-Quality HVAC Filters Combat Winter Illnesses in Schools and Universities

During the winter in colder climates, schools and universities face heightened challenges in maintaining the health of building occupants because students, faculty and staff spend more time together indoors. Problems with HVAC systems can trigger a host of health problems, such as the airborne spread of viruses and bacteria, as well as inducing asthma and allergies. In turn, these medical conditions increase absenteeism and reduce academic performance. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says improvements in school environmental quality can enhance academic performance, as well as teacher and staff productivity and retention.

High-quality air filters play a critical role in ensuring healthy learning environments. Read on to learn about the significance of indoor air quality (IAQ) in educational settings, the decision-making process for operating effective HVAC systems and practical solutions for combating winter illnesses through advanced air filtration technology.

Why IAQ Matters in Educational Settings

Poor IAQ has a significant effect on academic performance. Research shows that high levels of indoor air pollution and poor ventilation negatively affect all nine cognitive function domains that are essential for learning and performing complex tasks:

• Basic Activity Level Overall decision making.
• Applied Activity Level Making decisions oriented toward overall goals.
• Focused Activity Level Focusing on the current task or situation.
• Task Orientation Making...
