Spring is an important time of year to think about indoor air quality at schools. Schools can face challenges like leaks, humidity, and maintaining comfortable temperatures as the weather warms up. Pollen and mold might trigger asthma health effects in students and staff.
Tips to reduce indoor air quality issues include:
- Addressing leaks immediately before mold growth starts
- Completing regular maintenance on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems
- Using high efficiency filtration in HVAC and portable air cleaners
