II|||II THE IMPACT OF DAYLIGHT & FRESH AIR IN CLASSROOMS O GENERAL BENEFITS OF DAYLIGHT & FRESH AIR CIRCULATION Improved levels of concentration Higher academic achievement Improved student behaviour Fewer sick days for pupils Financial savings on energy bills The Alberta Department of Education surveyed 21,000 students and found that sunlit classrooms resulted in an improvement in student performance (compared to those in classrooms without natural sunlight). The University of Salford came to a similar conclusion in their own study, finding that the classroom environment can affect pupils' learning and academic progress by as much as 25%. 20% improvement in maths tests 26% improvement in reading tests http:/www.aartartkenoentotuhenndeventsestudy proves-daroom denignrealy doesnatter hettpwwa whitesales.cokneto to veste heppierhealthiertigherperfeming schools O SPECIFIC BENEFITS OF ACCESS TO DAYLIGHT Increased seratonin production Improved mood and emotion Lowered feelings of anxiety Regulated circadian rhythm Increased vitamin D production A 2014 study found that enclosed spaces, particulary those without access to sunlight, lead to an increase in cortisol - the stress hormone. This effect was found in both adults and children. This relates to the findings of a 1992 study, which suggested that lack of window access can alter a child's cortisol level. awthasociel vtres Awrtel 1ST.perent Kler and Lindsten (19, citedin hetpprtrustangkcontertapkaduonga erhsarvey1 pd Studies suggest that a nice outside view can increase Daily exposure to sun can help children get a good night's sleep Studies show a link between sun exposure and lower obesity rates productivity O SPECIFIC BENEFITS OF FRESH AIR CIRCULATION Improved levels of concentration Improved cognitive function Improved blood Improved mental well-being Strengthened immune system pressure In tests, cognitive function was shown to be 15% worse when the Co2 concentration was at around 945ppm (parts per million) compared to outdoor-fed air. When the concentrations were increased to 1,400ppm, cognitive function was shown to be 50% worse. con ppe O WHAT DO TEACHERS THINK OF MODERN CLASSROOMS? 2 in 10 9 in 10 teachers have considered quitting their job because of the condition of the school buildings they have to teach in every working day teachers believe that well-built and designed schools improve the educational outcomes of students, as well as their behaviour Whitesales Contact us www.whitesales.co.uk Rooflights & more.
