Airguard has collaborated with Clean Air Network to improve indoor air quality in Hong Kong schools. We worked with one school district to implement a comprehensive IAQ management program, which included IAQ assessments, remediation plans, and education and training for staff. As a result of the program, the school district was able to significantly reduce airborne pollutants and improve indoor air quality.
Improving IAQ in schools is a critical investment in the health and well-being of students and staff. Airguard is committed to helping schools create healthier learning environments for all.
Demonstrated benefits of improved IAQ in schools:
- Reduced absenteeism and sick days.
- Improved cognitive function and academic performance.
- Reduced risk of respiratory infections, allergies, and asthma.
- Increased comfort and productivity.
- Enhanced reputation of the school.
How schools can work with an indoor air management company
Our collaboration projects with Hong Kong schools include the following steps:
- Conduct an IAQ assessment. This will help to identify any potential pollutants and assess the overall quality of the indoor air in the school.
- Develop an IAQ remediation plan. This plan should address the specific air quality challenges of the school in the form of a report, which includes measures to reduce or eliminate pollutants.
- Implement the IAQ remediation plan. This may involve measures such as installing sensors, reducing indoor sources of pollution and setting up a holistic indoor air management system.
- "Intelligentize" the ventilation system. By installing smart devices for control purposes, once the sensor detects a high level of CO2, the intelligent control system will be able to automatically turn on the ventilation system to ensure the classroom is safe and healthy.
- Provide education and training to school personnel. This will help schools to prevent, identify and address IAQ problems early on to decrease health threats.
