Warm Schools
LEARNING
When we work we always demand cooling in summer and heating in winter otherwise “we can’t concentrate.” As adults we know how important temperature is for optimal performance. This certainly isn’t different for schools.
“When looking at how student learning can be improved, a lot of researchers start from the perspective of teaching materials,” says Shichao Liu, a professor in architectural engineering. “As an engineer in building services, I know indoor environmental quality is a big factor that affects people’s comfort and cognitive performance.” He has just been awarded a $300,000 grant to research further, and we can’t wait to see his teams findings.
Inherently this makes sense to me. With two boys of my own, sometimes the heat pumps we put into schools seem like some of our biggest achievements. Currently we have installed heat pumps in over 30 schools, 300 classrooms, keeping over 6,000 children comfortable, and I think that is very cool (or warm).
