When classrooms are too hot, students can't learn and teachers can't teach.
Extreme temperature isn’t just an inconvenience. As a study conducted by researchers at the University of Tulsa’s Indoor Air Program shows, it has a direct impact on student performance.
Researchers found:
- Math test scores increased an average of 3.2% with improved classroom ventilation.
- Math test scores rose another 2.8% when temperatures fell from a high of 78 degrees to a low of 67 degrees.
