Common School HVAC Challenges
Student Comfort Affects Learning
Research shows classroom temperature directly impacts student performance. Rooms above 75°F reduce concentration and test scores by up to 10%. Too cold, and students can't focus on learning. Uncomfortable classrooms lead to behavior issues and absenteeism. We design HVAC systems that maintain optimal 68-72°F learning temperatures year-round, helping students perform their best.
Poor Indoor Air Quality
Classrooms with 25-30 students generate high CO2 levels and spread airborne illnesses rapidly. Poor ventilation causes headaches, fatigue, and increased sick days. ASHRAE recommends specific air exchange rates for educational facilities. Our ventilation systems meet these standards, providing fresh air circulation that reduces illness transmission and keeps students alert.
Budget Constraints & Energy Costs
Schools operate on tight budgets where HVAC costs can consume 30-40% of facility expenses. Aging systems waste energy and require frequent costly repairs. We help schools reduce energy costs by 25-50% through high-efficiency equipment, smart scheduling systems, and strategic upgrades that qualify for energy rebates and educational facility incentives.
Summer Break Installation Windows
Major HVAC work must happen during summer break to avoid disrupting classes. This creates scheduling challenges and compressed timelines. Our project management expertise ensures installations complete on time before students return. We coordinate with school calendars, work efficiently during summer months, and guarantee systems are fully operational for opening day.
