Home > Services > Air Conditioning > Educational Air Conditioning

Having to keep a constant level of comfort at an affordable price is particularly difficult in educational premises due to the fact that there are large numbers of students and staff that are constantly opening and closing doors and windows as they pass from classrooms or out into playground. Additionally, many educational premises are generally older buildings that were not designed with the intention of a modern air conditioning system being installed. Fortunately, there are various styles and sizes of air conditioning units which allows for them to be implemented into virtually all environments.

With the introduction of air conditioning units, the level of comfort plateaus greatly allowing for staff and pupils alike to feel comfortable no matter the weather conditions nor the activity of nearby doors and windows.

Benefits of Air Con for your School/ College

Maintains a constant level of comfort

It has been proven that too much heat in a room can make people feel stressed, which could in turn have a negative impact on the health of your team.

Air conditioning ensures this is eliminated by maintaining a constant level of comfort.

The chance of an accident occurring in the classroom increases by 25% when the temperature in the room is above 24 degrees centigrade. It has also been found that productivity decreases by 15%.

Installing air conditioning ensures that this is not the case.

Reduction in humidity

In addition to providing accurate temperatures, air conditioning units are also able to reduce the humidity. Allows for a room to be dried without cooling the room, which is ideal for buildings and rooms in locations that suffer with dampness.

Prevents overheating of computers

Computers are power hungry pieces of kit that generate high temperatures even when in an idle state.

Idle temps are around the 40 degree mark and can easily exceed temperatures of 60 degrees or more. IT classrooms in particular are the most vulnerable when it comes to overheated rooms.

Reduces stress of students/ staff

Many schools are restricted on teaching space, and overcrowded classrooms and porta-cabins make for stressful conditions when being crammed in without the worry of it getting too hot.

It has been proven that pupils work harder in an environment where the temperature is kept at a comfortable level.

Reduction of noise and pests

With the addition of an air conditioning unit to cool your rooms, windows no longer need to be opened to let air in. This entails a reduction of pests and other bugs entering the room and reduces the amount of noise coming from outside.

Over a long period of time with the system not being maintained by a qualified engineer, the efficiency of the system will be significantly reduced as dusts and other build up begins to accumulate on the vents throughout the system. In addition, harmful bacteria can begin to blossom in such environments and begin to pose potential health threats to those in the vicinity of the unit.
