Spring and summer are approaching and you've been looking forward to the warmer environment and reduced heating bills, when all of a sudden the temperatures soar and the classroom becomes an unbearable place to be.
Staff and pupils struggle to focus in the hot conditions, lose concentration and work productivity suffers as a result.
The I.T. suite becomes a furnace... and its not suprising when you consider the fact that 30 pupils and 30 computers in a classroom generates the same heat as a 7KW fire... and thats without any direct sunlight! Add to that the increasing summer temperatures and you can see why more and more schools are installing climate control to get ambient room temperatures all year round. |
