Funding of schools: Good Filtration helps to improve indoor air quality by removing harmful dust, allergens, and pathogens. This is important in schools where a large number of students and staff spend many hours each day. By reducing airborne contaminants, good filtration will affect the attendance of students in a positive way and thereby maintaining or increasing school funding revenue streams.

Academic Performance of the students: Clean air has a direct impact on student’s ability to concentrate. Improved indoor air quality from good filtration systems can enhance cognitive function, productivity, and overall academic performance.

Teacher and Staff Well-being: It’s not just the students who benefit from good filtration in schools. Clean air can enhance their overall well-being, reduce sick days, and improve their ability to teach effectively. A healthy and comfortable work environment contributes to the overall morale and job satisfaction of the school staff.

By investing in good HVAC filtration, schools can create a conducive learning environment that promotes the health, well-being, and academic success of students and staff alike.

How to review your school filtration: Bringing in a filtration specialist is well worth looking into. This may be a mechanical contractor that understands filtration and or a trained filter specialist who can take all angles into consideration such as, the HVAC unit types, age of equipment and other factors that may play into the solution. It may also be worth looking into any government grants that may be available to help in upgrading filtration to meet the new recommended guidelines.
