Indoor air quality in educational and healthcare buildings

Fresh air promotes health and concentration.

Educational and healthcare buildings technology

In modern educational and healthcare buildings, the quality of the indoor air has an impact on recuperation, powers of concentration and general well-being. Whether schools, universities, hospitals or clinics, clean and well-regulated air is essential to ensure a healthy and productive environment. Air-conditioning systems are therefore a cornerstone of building-services technology, helping to optimise the indoor climate. Visitors to ISH, the world's leading trade fair for the sector, can be sure of finding the latest developments and technologies in this field.

Ventilation technology for educational institutions

In educational institutions such as schools and universities, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems (HVAC) play a crucial role in creating an optimum learning environment. Efficient ventilation technologies can contribute to improved concentration and well-being among students and teachers alike. At the same time, they reduce the risk of pathogens spreading. High-quality air filters remove allergens and particulate matter from the air, which is particularly important in schools due to their heavy footfall.

Intelligent control of air-conditioning and ventilation systems minimises energy consumption outside of school hours without compromising air quality. In this way, technological solutions can provide a sustainable and effective approach to indoor air quality in educational buildings.

Efficient ventilation for a healthy indoor climate

The air in healthcare facilities, such as hospitals and clinics, should not only be pleasant but should also minimise the risk of infection and aid patient recovery. Hospital air quality is decisive for maintaining high standards of hygiene and ensuring patient safety. Air-conditioning and ventilation systems in such buildings provide a continuous supply of fresh air and incorporate special filter systems that effectively remove pathogens from the air.

Air-conditioning in hospitals entails more than just temperature control with the control of humidity levels and air-exchange rates being essential to ensure both patient well-being and the proper functioning of medical equipment. Air-conditioning and ventilation systems that are tailored to the needs of operating theatres and intensive care units, for example, guarantee not only comfort but also compliance with strict standards of hygiene.

Innovative ventilation technology for educational and healthcare buildings

Demand-based control of HVAC systems allows operators to increase the energy efficiency of the entire system without having to compromise on air quality. In educational buildings, the technology can be adapted so it only runs at full capacity when needed while, in hospitals, specific rooms can be air-conditioned individually, in line with staff or patient preferences. Decentralised systems are particularly suitable for this purpose.

ISH showcases the latest innovations in ventilation and air-conditioning technology and gives visitors the opportunity to learn about the latest solutions for improving indoor air quality, saving energy and meeting individual requirements. The right combination of ventilation, filtration and intelligent control creates the best possible environment in which students can learn and patients recuperate.
