CREATING HEALTHY, PRODUCTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Higher Education buildings today are more complex. They provide more than just offices and classrooms. Campuses today are home to restaurants, gyms, science labs, clinics, living quarters, parking facilities, libraries and much more. This spatial complexity offers challenges to providing clean air quality.

The way air conditioning and maintenance is handled in Higher Education complexes is going to vary depending on the institution, size, age of building and age of delivery system. Some complexes will have commercial grade HVAC systems with single stage filtration. Many of these systems are outdated and use very low efficiency filters. Switching to higher efficiency filters may prove to lower pressure drop, reduce energy costs, increase particle removal and increase filter life.
