Enhancing Indoor Environmental Quality in Educational Spaces with YesArctic Cooling Solutions
We spend half of our life within the walls of educational institutions. On average, a person dedicates approximately 14 to 15 years of their life to school buildings, regardless of their country of residence. Recognizing the pivotal role of these environments in our development: There has been a surge in research focused on Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) within school buildings over the past two decades. This research has underscored the need for sustainable solutions to improve IEQ in Indian educational spaces, ultimately resulting in more effective teaching and learning outcomes.
In classrooms across India, an average of 50 or more students shares the same space, making it imperative for educational authorities to ensure well-ventilated and appropriately temperature-controlled environments. This is where Arctic’s cooling solutions come into play. Our cooling technology offers a unique amalgamation of air cooling and ventilation, ideally suited for various industrial applications, including educational spaces, healthcare facilities, religious centres, and more.
Why Arctic’s offerings are synonymous with safety, security, and sustainability?
Fostering a Healthy Atmosphere
Children, with their developing immune systems, are particularly susceptible to diseases. Moreover, they inhale a greater volume of air in proportion to their body weight. Therefore, maintaining high indoor air quality is paramount in educational settings. What sets YesArctic apart is its ability to operate in open and semi-open spaces, creating classrooms that are more spacious and airier. By providing adequate ventilation and air cooling, YesArctic contributes to the well-being of students, ensuring a healthy and contented environment.
Amplifying Concentration Levels
Both students and teachers spend a substantial chunk of their day within the confines of educational institutions, often accounting for one-third of their daily time. Consequently, it becomes imperative to assess the IEQ in these spaces. As academic levels advance, students require higher levels of concentration; according to research by IIM-A, a person’s productivity peaks at an ambient temperature of 27°C. Beyond this threshold, productivity can decline by up to 40%. YesArctic’s cooling solutions help mitigate this productivity loss by providing adequate venti-cooling, thereby enhancing concentration levels in educational spaces.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
We are on a mission to create a world where the ambient temperature is a comfortable 27°C, all while ensuring minimal harm to the planet. Our cooling solutions are designed to be not only energy-efficient but also cost-effective. By harnessing the power of air-cooling without harming the environment, we are working towards a sustainable and eco-friendly future.
The Unique Cooling Challenges of Educational Institutes
Schools, colleges and universities are unique in their cooling needs. They consist of various buildings, including classrooms, laboratories, libraries, dormitories, and administrative offices. Each of these spaces requires different cooling strategies due to variations in occupancy, usage, and architectural design.
Classrooms and Lecture Halls
Lecture halls can be filled with students for hours, generating a significant heat load. Traditional air conditioning systems might need help to maintain a comfortable temperature and air quality in these spaces.
Laboratories
Science and research laboratories often have specialized equipment that generates heat. Maintaining a controlled temperature in these areas is crucial to ensure the accuracy of experiments.
Libraries
Libraries house numerous books and documents that are susceptible to damage from high temperatures and humidity. Proper climate control is essential to preserve the integrity of these collections.
Dormitories
Student dormitories require cooling solutions that provide individual comfort. Adjustable and efficient cooling is vital in shared living spaces.
Administrative Offices
Administrative areas need consistent and energy-efficient cooling to support the staff’s productivity.
Types of Air-Cooling Solutions for Education Institutes
When the scorching summer heat arrives, it brings with it the challenge of keeping large educational institutions cool and comfortable. Schools & colleges, with their sprawling campuses and diverse cooling requirements, need effective air-cooling solutions that go beyond traditional air conditioning.
Air cooling solutions offer a versatile and cost-effective way to address the diverse cooling needs of educational institutes ranging from various areas including auditorium, activity areas, play grounds / courts, indoor games etc. Air coolers come in various forms, including evaporative air coolers and duct coolers, each suited for specific applications.
Evaporative Air Coolers
These coolers are highly efficient and eco-friendly. They work on the principle of evaporative cooling, which uses water to lower the temperature of the incoming air. Evaporative air coolers are well-suited for classrooms, lecture halls, and libraries. They provide rapid cooling and maintain a comfortable atmosphere even in large, open spaces.
Duct Coolers
Duct coolers are ideal for centralized cooling in educational buildings. They can be connected to the existing ductwork to distribute cool air evenly throughout a facility. This makes them suitable for laboratories, dormitories, and administrative offices. Duct coolers are energy-efficient and allow for precise temperature control.
Common Benefits of Air-Cooling Solutions for Educational Institutes
Energy Efficiency
Air cooling solutions are known for their energy efficiency. They consume significantly less energy than traditional air conditioning systems, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
Cost-Effective
The initial investment in air cooling solutions is lower than installing central air conditioning. Additionally, maintenance costs are minimal, making them a budget-friendly choice for educational institutions.
Environmentally Friendly
Evaporative air coolers use natural processes without harmful refrigerants. They release cool, fresh air, contributing to a healthier indoor environment and reducing carbon footprint.
Customizable
Air cooling solutions can be tailored to specific institute’s cooling needs. With various sizes and configurations available, they can effectively cool different spaces within the campus.
